Given their significance within the regional socio-productive framework, the objective of this study was to assess sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The methodology employed for sustainability analysis was the Framework for Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Systems (MESMIS). Thirty FPUs were purposively selected from 14 communities spanning four municipalities and were typologically classified into three groups: Traditional, Maize Growers-Livestockers, and Diversified. In-depth interviews were conducted with individual farmers, complemented by group interviews involving entire families. The collected data underwent processing through multiple correspondence statistical analysis, analysis of variance for linear models, and multiple comparisons of means. The results indicated that the Diversified FPU group exhibited higher sustainability, covering 68% of the sustainability perimeter. Consequently, this group demonstrated better conditions for preserving native maize varieties over time and developing strategies to meet their needs concurrently. The Traditional FPU group covered 58%, while the Maize Growers-Livestockers group covered 52% of the sustainability perimeter. In conclusion, it was observed that family reproduction strategies, grounded in resource utilization (capitals), shape forms of nature appropriation that are continually reconfigured. These configurations play a pivotal role in defining the sustainability of FPUs engaged in native maize cultivation in the Frailesca region.","PeriodicalId":11648,"journal":{"name":"Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140244367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, during the 2021 and 2022 growing seasons, the effect of pollination with pollen grains in liquid suspension on the FSP in the date palm cultivar ‘Mejhoul’ was evaluated in the Mexicali Valley, Mexico. The applications were in various proportions of pollen in liquid suspension (1, 2, 3 and 4 g/L), with approximately 40 mL on each inflorescence. The results revealed that the best treatment was 4 g/L with an average FSP of 67.89 and 68.69% for the years 2021 and 2022 respectively, while the control treatment obtained 54.94 and 57.75%, for the same years.

Intercropping and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers are the most effective methods to achieve sustainable agriculture goals. To investigate light and quality indicators of fodder obtained from barley and vetch additive intercropping at different levels of nitrogen fertilizer, a split plot experiment was performed with a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and 4 replications in two experimental fields in Sisab and Shirvan, North Khorasan Province, Iran, during 2017–2018. The factor included nitrogen fertilizer at three levels (zero, 50 and 100 Kg.ha−1 (N0, N1 and N2)) and the subfactor included the combination of crops at four levels (barley pure cropping (I1), 15% vetch +100% barley (I2), 30% vetch +100% barley (I3) and 45% vetch + 100% barley (I4) additive intercropping). The results showed the highest fodder dry weight, absorbed radiation, radiation use efficiency, light extinction coefficient, ground cover percentage and leaf area index (LAI) in I3 and N2 in Sisab, and the lowest in I1 and N0 in Shirvan. Also, the highest crude protein (CP) was obtained from I4 and N2 in Shirvan, and the lowest crude protein was obtained from I1 and N0 in Sisab, which was inconsistent with neutral detergent fiber (NDF). The study results showed that increasing the percentage of vetch by 30% in intercropping and using nitrogen fertilizer led to increases in the indicators measured in the experiment.","PeriodicalId":11648,"journal":{"name":"Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140244255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse equipped with an innovative ozonated water generation system. Tomato seeds were planted in 240 pots of 2-liter volume, arranged in 16 rows with 15 pots each. Alongside the native greenhouse topsoil, three distinct substrate mixtures incorporating compost compositions of 10%, 20%, and 40% were examined. Regular irrigation, twice a week, was implemented using three varying concentrations of dissolved ozone in water (1, 2, and 3 ppm). Results obtained after approximately three months of cultivation unveiled an almost twofold increase in plant productivity with ozonated water irrigation. This effect was notably pronounced when utilizing the native topsoil and a substrate containing 10% compost, coupled with an ozone concentration of 2 ppm. Intriguingly, the use of ozonated water facilitated enhanced development of both aerial and root components of the tomato plants. Moreover, the study suggests that organic fertilization may not be necessary when irrigating with ozonated water, as comparable productivity was observed for both fertilized and non-fertilized soil substrates. Although physicochemical analyses indicated minimal alterations, the noticeable improvement in plant vitality underscores the positive influence of ozone.","PeriodicalId":11648,"journal":{"name":"Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140242232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research purposed to determine the physicochemical (moisture, ash, protein, fat, phenolics, and DPPH for free radical scavenging activity) and microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, yeast, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc) characteristics of kefir ice cream after the addition of 3, 5, 7 and 9% (w/w) bengkuang starch. This ice cream used fresh cow’s milk, skim milk, kefir, granulated sugar, whipped cream, CMC (Carboxy Methyl Cellulose), egg yolks, and varying amounts of bengkuang starch. The research showed that the best formulation for all physicochemical and microbiological characteristics was the kefir ice cream added with 9% (w/w) bengkuang starch. This product had stable viability of probiotic microbes (both lactic acid bacteria and yeast), the same protein value as the control, low fat, pH suitable for probiotics, high total phenolic content and DPPH value, and low melting rate even though the overrun value was lower compared to controls. The synergistic combination of bengkuang starch and probiotics from kefir in making ice cream has the potential to produce nutritious functional foods that are beneficial for human health.","PeriodicalId":11648,"journal":{"name":"Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140243493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the discovery of the synthesis of saccharin, progressively more non-nutritive sweeteners have been produced and consumed, as they release none or only very small amounts of energy. In this context, traditional synthetic food sweeteners are largely used, because they have a higher sweetener power than most of the sweeteners of natural origin. Yet, due to their potential risks, some of them are being replaced by those obtained from natural origins with high sweetening power, such as thaumatins and neohesperidin DC, or by synthetic sweeteners with an even greater sweetener power, with advantame as the one with the highest sweetening power. Yet, numerous side effects of synthetic sweeteners have been reported (namely, stomach and liver problems, allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, changes in behaviour, cognitive problems, genotoxicity and carcinogenic effects), whereas those naturally derived seem to have less important health problems associated. Moreover, some sweeteners of natural origin, such as polyols, have a low sweetening power, which makes them less effective, but have other functions in food processing. To further understand the implications of using synthetic and natural-derived food sweeteners, this review aims to provide a synoptical approach on chemical characteristics, properties, uses and side effects of those which are currently allowed and applied during food processing mostly considering the authorized sweeteners in European Union.

Through LC/MS analysis, the algal extract's phenolic composition was determined by its abundance in quinic acid, gallic acid, kaempferol and luteolin. The concentration of leaf proline increased while the biomass production, chlorophyll fluorescence, SPAD index and mineral composition all decreased as a result of salt stress. The salt-stress tolerance mechanism in lettuce involved the expression of genes that encode antioxidant enzymes, including LsSOD, LsCAT, and LsAPX, in both stressed and control plants, which demonstrates their important roles. The findings revealed that plants that were treated with marine algal extract had a greater ability to handle salt challenge, as evidenced by a significant (p < 0.05) increase in plant growth, SPAD index, Fv/Fm ratio, a better nutritional status in addinto a better osmoprotection against salt stress. Malondialdehyde level, Hydrogen peroxide and stability index levels were significantly decreased. Furthermore, the antioxidant system saw a significant improvement, as demonstrated by the increased activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) under moderate stress conditions (50mM) and more abundant LsCAT transcripts in the stressed plants.
