Nitrogen fertilization can mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures on rice. In this study, we simulated dynamic field temperature increases using a free-air temperature enhancement system. Changes in the physicochemical properties of starch were investigated under increasing nitrogen...

In this work, a hybrid was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment, metal-organic framework functionalized with hydrochar (MIL-53(Al)@HC) for the adsorption of two organic molecules Ibuprofen sodium salt and Metsulfuron-methyl, in binary system. The hybrid is composed of 71 wt% biomass and 29 wt%...

V-type granular starch (VGS) was prepared by aqueous-ethanol heat treatment using normal maize starch (NMS) with an amylose content of 31.02% (NMS₁), 25.08% (NMS₂), or 22.39% (NMS₃). The effects of different amylose contents on VGS granular morphology, crystalline structure, thermal transitions,...

Anisakis simplex sensu stricto is a parasite infecting several commercial fish species in the Northeast (NE) Atlantic, known to be the aetiological agent of the human zoonosis anisakiasis. The present study investigated the response of A. simplex (s. s.) third stage larvae (identified to species...

Pineapple as an important tropical fruit in the world is prone to internal browning (IB) caused by the oxidation of phenolic substances. To address the occurrence of IB, endogenous polyphenol oxidase (PPO) substrates were extracted, separated, and purified from pineapple fruit, and then four...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a widely adaptable crop and plays a vital role in food security in many countries. Although farmers constantly demand improvements in crop productivity through genetic improvement, low flowering in the species can make it challenging to include some parents in...

To investigate the expression pattern of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in food and the genotypic diversity of SEB-encoding gene in association with molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus, 498 isolates from retail food were screened for seb gene and detected for SEB ...

Bacillus cereus is a pathogenic bacterium that causes food contamination, resulting in food poisoning such as diarrhea and emesis. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective strategies to control this bacterium. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel B. cereus phage, named DZ1....

Light is a crucial mediator in plants of growth and development, secondary metabolism, and signaling of potentially beneficial phytochemicals. The present study investigated three indoor supplemental light treatments, HPS, LED, and LED+IR, applied during tomato cultivation, in which non-destructive ...

The quince tree has been cultivated since ancient times in the province of Isfahan in Iran. Flower and fruit drop is one of the most important problems in the cultivation of quince in Iran. In this study, the role of shading nets as a protective factor in quince orchard was investigated to adjust...
