Journal Article
Ford, H., Zhang, Y., Gould, J., Danner, L., Bastian, S. E., Ford, R., & Yang, Q. (2023). Applying regression tree analysis to explore willingness to reduce meat and adopt protein alternatives among Australia, China and the UK. Food Quality and Preference, 112, Article 105034. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2023.105034

The increasing global demand for meat causes additional environmental and food security issues. Adoption of a healthy and sustainable diet through the reduction of meat consumption may represent one approach to tackle these problems. An online survey...

Radiofrequency cold plasma – A novel tool for flavour modification in fresh and freeze-dried strawberries (2023)
Journal Article
Warne, G. R., Lim, M., Wilkinson, K., Hessel, V., Williams, P. M., & Fisk, I. D. (2023). Radiofrequency cold plasma – A novel tool for flavour modification in fresh and freeze-dried strawberries. Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, 90, Article 103497. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifset.2023.103497

Cold plasma treatment is an emerging non-thermal food processing tool. This study aimed to identify how cold plasma can improve the aroma of a model space food system (freeze-dried strawberries) by mitigating freeze-drying aroma losses. Cold plasma s...

Changes in nutrient composition and gene expression in growing mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) (2023)
Journal Article
Lopez-Viso, C., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, T., Brameld, J., Salter, A., & Parr, T. (2023). Changes in nutrient composition and gene expression in growing mealworms (Tenebrio molitor). Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, https://doi.org/10.1163/23524588-20230143

Insects are of high interest as a sustainable source of nutrients to be included in the food production system. The larvae of Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as yellow mealworms (MW), have a high protein content, which means potential applications i...

Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat (2023)
Journal Article
Nguyen Quang Le, T., Robertson, K., Escribà-Gelonch, M., Marschner, P., Nghiep Tran, N., Williams, P. M., …Hessel, V. (2023). Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat. Green Chemistry, 25(22), 9422-9437. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3gc02859c

Highly soluble commercial phosphorus (P) fertilisers have been the most common form of P applied in agriculture for decades, but their releasing efficiency can be low because phosphate ions can easily bind with cations in the soil to form precipitate...

The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body (2023)
Journal Article
Ivanova, N., Yang, Q., Bastian, S. E., Wilkinson, K. L., Johnson, T. E., & Ford, R. (2023). The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body. Food Quality and Preference, 112, Article 105004. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2023.105004

Beer body remains a poorly defined term, and although technical brewing experts currently describe it as the fullness of flavour and mouthfeel, little is known regarding the impact of different sensory factors on its perception. Previous studies have... Read More about The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body.

Thermally treated peanut oil bodies as a fat replacer for ice cream: Physicochemical and rheological properties (2023)
Journal Article
Zaaboul, F., Tian, T., Borah, P. K., & Di Bari, V. (2024). Thermally treated peanut oil bodies as a fat replacer for ice cream: Physicochemical and rheological properties. Food Chemistry, 436, Article 137630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137630

This study investigates the potential use of peanut oil bodies as a fat replacer in ice cream. We explored the effects of different treatments, fresh (FOB), heated (HOB), and roasted (ROB) peanut oil bodies on ice cream preparation. Heat treatment al...

Challenges facing sustainable protein production: Opportunities for cereals (2023)
Journal Article
Safdar, L. B., Foulkes, M. J., Kleiner, F. H., Searle, I. R., Bhosale, R. A., Fisk, I. D., & Boden, S. A. (2023). Challenges facing sustainable protein production: Opportunities for cereals. Plant Communications, 4(6), Article 100716. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100716

Rising demands for protein worldwide are likely to drive increases in livestock production, as meat provides ∼40% of dietary protein. This will come at a significant environmental cost, and a shift toward plant-based protein sources would therefore p...

Mineral supplements in Aging (2023)
Book Chapter
Welham, S., Rose, P., Coneyworth, L., Avery, A., & Kirk, C. (in press). Mineral supplements in Aging. In Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part V, Anti-ageing Interventions. Switzerland: Springer

With advancing age, achievement of dietary adequacy for all nutrients is increasingly difficult and this is particularly so for minerals. Various factors impede mineral acquisition and absorption including reduced appetite, depressed gastric acid pro... Read More about Mineral supplements in Aging.
