Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Integrated green extraction of phenolic compounds and fermentable sugars from grapefruit peel using ultrasound and enzymatic hydrolysis

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 3, Page 1839-1851, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Valorizing sugar‐rich food waste in biorefineries offers a sustainable route to bio‐based products. Grapefruit peel (GP), representing about 50% of the fruit's weight, is rich in sugars (soluble and insoluble) and polyphenols such as flavonoids.

Synthesis of optically-labelled vanadyl complexes and their evaluation as protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors and intracellular probes [PDF]

, 2016
Cysteine based phosphatases (CBPs) are a diverse family of enzymes that act to remove the phosphate group from proteins, phosphatidylinositols and other biomolecules, thereby counteracting the effects of kinases.

Heat drastically alters floral color and pigment composition without affecting flower conspicuousness

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Floral pigments primarily serve to attract pollinators through color display and also contribute to protection against environmental stress. Although pigment composition can be plastically altered under stress, its impact on pollinator color perception remains poorly understood.

Artificial Intelligence‐Based In Silico Evaluation of the Pharmacological Potential and In Vitro Anti‐Malignancy Effect in the Human Glioblastoma Cell Line of the Hydrate of the Coumarin Compound Meranzin Originating From the Edible Macroalga (Bangia fuscopurpurea)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
In U87 cells, meranzin hydrate showed cytotoxicity (MIC = 50 μM) and anti‐invasion activity (IC50 = 33.12 μM) but had no inhibitory effect on colony formation. It also suppressed the cancer stem cell property of sphere formation (IC50 = 21.43 μM). In silico analysis indicated that meranzin hydrate may downregulate the protein expression of ALDH1A1 and ...
