Modeling of Space Crop-Based Dishes for Optimal Nutrient Delivery to Astronauts and Beyond on Earth (2023)
Journal Article

Future long-term human exploration of space will need a supply of resources for astronauts, including fresh food from space farms. This means it is necessary to identify combinations of crops that can be successfully grown together and which provide...

Radiofrequency cold plasma – A novel tool for flavour modification in fresh and freeze-dried strawberries (2023)
Journal Article

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...

The role of plant vasculature in tackling N2O emissions (2023)
Journal Article

Rising demand for protein-rich foods can impact N2O emissions from croplands. Recent research has pointed to the role of modified plant vasculature in grain protein increase. Here we highlight how discovering the mechanistic role of plant vasculature... Read More about The role of plant vasculature in tackling N2O emissions.

Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat (2023)
Journal Article

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... Read More about Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat.

Challenges facing sustainable protein production: Opportunities for cereals (2023)
Journal Article

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...

Reviving grain quality in wheat through non-destructive phenotyping techniques like hyperspectral imaging (2023)
Journal Article

A long-term goal of breeders and researchers is to develop crop varieties that can resist environmental stressors and produce high yields. However, prioritising yield often compromises improvement of other key traits, including grain quality, which i...

A flavour perspective of Tiepishihu (Dendrobium officinale) – an emerging food ingredient from popular traditional Chinese medicinal plants: a review (2023)
Journal Article

Many Dendrobium orchid stems are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The most popular and premium species is Dendrobium officinale, and its stem in TCM is called Tiepishihu. Tiepishihu has a sweet flavour and is an ingredient in Chinese tea a...

Effects of agro-forestry systems on the physical and chemical characteristics of green coffee beans (2023)
Journal Article

Twenty agroforestry systems consisting of different management practices (conventional and organic) and shade types were set up for coffee plantations in 2,000 at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE), Turrialba, Cost... Read More about Effects of agro-forestry systems on the physical and chemical characteristics of green coffee beans.

Integration of hyperspectral imaging, non-targeted metabolomics and machine learning for vigour prediction of naturally and accelerated aged sweetcorn seeds (2023)
Journal Article

Understanding and predicting the storage stability of sweetcorn seeds is critical for effective supply chain management, however, prediction ability relies heavily on accelerated ageing (AA) studies and this is not always directly applicable to natur... Read More about Integration of hyperspectral imaging, non-targeted metabolomics and machine learning for vigour prediction of naturally and accelerated aged sweetcorn seeds.

Microfluidic Spontaneous Emulsification for Generation of O/W Nanoemulsions—Opportunity for In-Space Manufacturing (2023)
Journal Article

The use of microfluidics for oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsification via spontaneous self-assembly is demonstrated. As this is known to be a longish process, both single- and multicontact microfluidic reactors are tested, the latter providing a longsom...
