Food quality profile of fermented cassava dough: A tool for the value chain upgrading

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Agbelima is a fermented cassava mash, which is then cooked into dough. The key quality attributes are color, odor, stretchability, and sour taste. To succeed in upgrading agbelima value chain, there is a need to determine the instrumental parameters that predict the quality of consumer‐preferred attributes of the final product. This

Advantages of low‐glycaemic‐index carbohydrates in regulating glycaemic response of energy bar: A review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy bars are widely consumed functional foods among athletes and physically active consumers who require convenient sources of sustained energy. Their carbohydrate composition, particularly the type and ratio of digestible sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose, strongly influences glycaemic index (GI), postprandial blood glucose ...

Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
