Selenium (Se), a nutrient trace mineral, plays important roles in optimizing human health. Chitosan is an effective, natural-oriented material for synthesizing nanopolymers, with preferable properties such as biocompatibility, ...

Isoflavones found in high concentrations in soybeans have received great attention due to their potential beneficial effects in human health. The effects of soybean planting time, location and seed type on isoflavone content ...

Conventionally used as animal feeds, microalgae are now cultivated for products such as omega-3 fatty acids, resulting in a high amount of biomass as by-product. The biomass obtained after the extraction of DHA from ...

The use of compost in crop production systems as a soil amendment is recognized by both conventional and organic plant production practitioners as a means to increase yields and reduce the incidence of foliar diseases. ...

This study examined cold-pressed edible seed oil and flour from fruit and other plant sources for value-adding components and properties. The tested fruit seeds included black raspberry, red raspberry, boysenberry, ...
