Las nanopartículas inorgánicas podrían atravesar la barrera placentaria y llegar a la leche materna
09-Dec-2022
Nanotechnologies have revolutionized food technology with changes to food production, manufacture, and processing that are intended to make our food safer and healthier. Phytosanitary products, processing aids, food additives, and surfaces that touch food in storage can all transfer nanoparticles ...
Could new cancer drugs come from potatoes and tomatoes?
Future cancer drugs may one day be formulated from glycoalkaloids found in plants from the genus Solanum

Everyone knows someone who has had cancer. In 2020, around 19m new cases — and around 10m deaths — were registered worldwide. Treatments are improving all the time but can damage healthy cells or have severe side-effects which are hard on patients; in the search for new, more targeted cancer ...
Italian researchers discover new recipe for extending shelf life of fresh pasta by 30 days
Changes to product packaging, addition of bioprotective, and antimicrobial bacteria called probiotics add 30 days to how long the popular food staple can be stored
01-Nov-2022
Pasta is serious business in Italy, with reportedly more than 300 specific forms known by some 1,300 names. There is even a 55-year-old ‘pasta law’ that governs its production and manufacture. But that doesn’t mean the beloved food staple is shut off from innovation. Now, Italian researchers ...
CO2 ventilation breakthrough could turn city rooftops into bumper vegetable gardens
Scientists find that exploiting waste CO2 from building ventilation systems can help plants on rooftops grow better
25-Oct-2022
As the world’s cities grow, the hunt is on for ways to make them greener, more sustainable, and more livable. Rooftop farms and gardens that take advantage of underutilized roof space are a popular option, providing new food resources while simultaneously cooling the surrounding area, increasing ...
Eating vegetables does not protect against cardiovascular disease, finds large-scale study
Previous positive studies may not have sufficiently corrected for confounding socio-economic and lifestyle factors, suggests new analysis

Tomato fruits send electrical warnings to the rest of the plant when attacked by insects
21-Jul-2021
A recent study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems shows that the fruits of a type of tomato plant send electrical signals to the rest of the plant when they are infested by caterpillars. Plants have a multitude of chemical and hormonal signaling pathways, which are generally transmitted ...
Beer byproduct mixed with manure proves an excellent pesticide
Byproducts from the beer and agricultural industry have been shown to reduce numbers of root-knot nematodes and increase yields of lettuce crops
02-Jun-2021
The use of many chemical fumigants in agriculture have been demonstrated to be harmful to human health and the environment and therefore banned from use. Now, in an effort to reduce waste from the agricultural industry and reduce the amounts of harmful chemicals used, researchers have ...
Crop rotations with beans and peas offer more sustainable and nutritious food production
14-Apr-2021
Growing more legumes, like beans and lentils, is potentially a more sustainable and nutritious approach to European agriculture, shows a new study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems. This study presents some of the first holistic evidence that adding legumes to traditional crop rotations ...
