Applying regression tree analysis to explore willingness to reduce meat and adopt protein alternatives among Australia, China and the UK (2023)
Journal Article

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

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

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

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...
