Correction to “Phenomic prediction of club wheat milling yields”
- AbstractIn this study, we introduce two complementary R packages: exploreHTP and flexFitR. exploreHTP is a Shiny?based graphical interface for extracting plot?level data from remote?sensing imagery,...
Hybrid chitosan-based nanomaterials from food waste streams: Design, functionalization, and applications in sustainable food packaging
- The increasing demand for sustainable and functional food packaging has accelerated research into bio-based materials derived from renewable resources. In this context, chitosan, a biodegradable as...
Influence of pH and protein concentration on the development of myofibrillar protein-based biodegradable film from Basa (Pangasius bocourti) fish waste
- Fish waste generated by fish-processing industries contributes significantly to environmental pollution, highlighting the need for its effective utilization. Similarly, plastic waste from packaging...
Artificial intelligence and digital twins in postharvest food systems: transforming quality prediction, shelf-life management, and food loss reduction
- BackgroundPostharvest food loss and waste account for 13 to 14 percent of global food production and nearly 400 billion US dollars annually, driven by the reactive nature of conventional quality...
Research trends in climate-resilient rice systems in Indonesia: a bibliometric and narrative review
- Rice self-sufficiency has become a necessity amid global geopolitical uncertainty and climate change. Over the past decade, rice-importing countries such as Indonesia have pursued research-based...
