Quality Maintenance and Increased Firmness of Fresh‐Cut Strawberries Using Vacuum Infusion of Calcium Lactate and Pectin Methylesterase

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The demand for healthy foods has led to an increase in the consumption of fresh fruits, especially fresh‐cut (FC) fruits. However, FC processing negatively affects fruit firmness, an important parameter for consumer acceptance. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined use of vacuum, calcium lactate, and ...

The biocultural heritage and changing role of indigenous yams in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 719-733, May 2025.
Global yam production is centred on West Africa, but there are significant knowledge gaps about farm‐level diversity across much of the region, and especially in Guinea. Although yam production is increasing in Guinea, in the longer term, varietal diversity and the sustainability of agri‐systems are at risk.

Tree‐Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Tree rings are crucial for reconstructing past climates, with maximum latewood density (MXD) as a key metric. However, wood integrity is critical for accurate MXD‐based reconstructions, raising concerns when using potentially degraded relict wood. Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) provides a morphometric alternative.

Selenium‐Chitosan Reduces Postharvest Decay of Red Globe Grapes by Improving Disease Resistance During Cold Storage

open access: yeseFood, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
This study explores the effect of selenium‐chitosan treatment (25 mg L⁻¹ selenium and 1.0% chitosan) on enhancing disease resistance in Red Globe grapes during cold storage at 0°C. The treatment significantly reduced the decay rate from 41.79% to 4.93% after 60 days, attributed to increased antioxidant enzyme activities.
