Influence of moisture on the identification of tropical wood species by NIR spectroscopy

open access: yesHolzforschung
Abstract Solutions for species discrimination are important for monitoring native timber harvesting. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has shown promise for identifying wood species in real time. The influence of moisture content on the model’s performance for classifying wood is not well known. The objective was to evaluate the effect of

A methodology to select a group of species among 131 tropical (colombian) species for bowed timber applications

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
We present a methodology of selecting wood species for architectural purposes, especially when a curved shape is required. First, a mechanical criterion is associated with a morphology, more specifically a characteristic value of stress-strain relation ...

Nutraceutical Benefits of Anchomanes difformis Rhizome and Its Effects on Blood Glucose and Hepatorenal Function in Normoglycemic Rats

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Scientific analysis of Anchomanes difformis roots confirms significant nutraceutical potential, containing high levels of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential minerals. Phytochemical screening revealed antioxidants such as phenols and flavonoids, and although the extracts effectively lowered plasma glucose, safety testing showed dose‐dependent risks.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
