Development and Comprehensive Diverse-Matrix Evaluation of Four PAHs Using Solvent-Modified QuEChERS-GC-MS with Freeze-Out

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are recognized carcinogens that enter the food chain through pre-existing environmental contamination (air, water, soil), and their formation and accumulation during food preparation and processing in...

Toxicity of Parasporin-4 and Health Effects of Pro-parasporin-4 Diet in Mice

Parasporin-4 (PS4) is an aerolysin-type β-pore-forming toxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis strain A1470. It exhibits specific cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines; therefore, it is expected to be useful for the diagnosis and tr...

Monitoring and predicting crop growth and analysing agricultural ecosystems by remote sensing

LANDSAT/TM data, which are characterized by high spectral/spatial resolutions, are able to contribute to practical agricultural management. In the first part of the paper, the authors review some recent applications of satellite remote sens...

Diet in 1-year-old farm and control children and allergy development: results from the FARMFLORA birth cohort

Background: A farming environment confers strong protection against allergy development. We have previously shown that farming mothers consume more full-fat dairy than control mothers, who instead consume more low-fat dairy, margarine, and ...

Methyl Jasmonate and Zinc Sulfate Induce Secondary Metabolism and Phenolic Acid Biosynthesis in Barley Seedlings

This study aimed to reveal the impact of MeJA and ZnSO4 treatments on the physiological metabolism of barley seedlings and the content of phenolic acid. The results showed that MeJA (100 μM) and ZnSO4 (4 mM) treatments effectively increased...

Integrated Farming System (IFS): A Review

Adoption of Integrated Farming System (IFS) leads to sustainability and stability in farm income through multiple enterprises that aim at maximum utilization of available natural resources to meet the family needs. It aims at generating a t...

Consumer Acceptance of Texture-Modified Mackerel Stew Products in Older Adults

Along with concerns regarding societal aging, the dietary requirements of older adults have become a priority. Older adults in Korea experience difficulties consuming animal protein sources as they age. Therefore, this study aimed to develo...

Chemical Diversity of Fuzhuan Brick Teas from Hunan and Shaanxi

This study aimed to explore the diversity of metabolites and compare the metabolite profiles of Fuzhuan brick teas from Hunan and Shaanxi, to find out the difference in chemical components between fresh tea leaves and Fuzhuan brick tea and ...

Correction: Modeling relationships between iron status, behavior, and brain electrophysiology: evidence from a randomized study involving a biofortified grain in Indian adolescents

Camel Milk Targeting Insulin Receptor—Toward Understanding the Antidiabetic Effects of Camel Milk

Camel milk (CM) is known for its beneficial virtues in the human diet and health. This includes its antidiabetic properties demonstrated in many in vitro and in vivo studies. Nevertheless, the scientific rationale behind the molecular and c...

Beverage Consumption Patterns and Their Association with Metabolic Health in Adults from Families at High Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in Europe—The Feel4Diabetes Study

In total, 3274 adults (65.2% females) from six European countries were included in this cross-sectional analysis using data from the baseline assessment of the Feel4Diabetes study. Anthropometric, sociodemographic, dietary and behavioral da...
