Sensory Preference of Drinking Water Influenced by Subthreshold‐Level Mineral Salt Mixtures

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
A distinct preference plateau was identified, with liking maximized near the salts' absolute thresholds. Sweetness promotion and astringency suppression were the primary sensory mechanisms driving preference in these mineral salt mixtures. A predictive model pinpointed the optimal blend (0.92 mg/L KCl; 0.60 mg/L MgSO4), providing a practical, data ...

Rethinking Urban Spaces to Improve Nutrition Security Through Urban Agriculture

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The current food system damages the environment, increases social inequalities, and is vulnerable to climate shocks and supply chain disruptions. This, and the global urbanization trends, pose the question of how cities will ensure food security for their inhabitants in a sustainable way. Within urban contexts, the most marginalized groups are

Constructed wetlands with mining pond integration and paddy field geometry: A regional sewage treatment plant case study

River, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 351-362, August 2025.
Abstract Discharge from sewage treatment plants can deteriorate river water quality due to improper management or insufficient levels of treatment. To address these challenges, constructed wetland systems (CWSs) have been widely used as a sustainable and effective solution for wastewater management.

Analysis of the Total Nitrogen Distribution Characteristics and Land‐Based Correlation in the Sea Areas Under the Jurisdiction of Weifang City in 2022

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 3, July 2025.
To explore the distribution characteristics of total nitrogen in the Weifang Sea area and its correlation with land‐based rivers, the total nitrogen distribution in Weifang was analysed using the measured data in August 2022. The results show that during the flood season (August), the total nitrogen content in Weifang is excessive, and the water ...
