The experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with three replications. The different treatments included the natural light of the greenhouse (C), 100 % white (W), 100 % red (R), 100 % blue (B), and 75 % red + 25 % blue light (RB). Two levels of 90 % field capacity irrigation (control) and 70 % field capacity irrigation (low irrigation) were also used in this research. The results indicated that low irrigation led to a reduction in the wet and dry weight of shoots, canopy area, and relative water content (RWC) as compared with control irrigation. Photosynthetic pigments and most of the physiological traits, along with electrolyte leakage (EL), increased under low irrigation. Among various LED light spectra, R-light and B-light exhibited the highest shoot length and leaf width, respectively. The RB-light enhanced most of the investigated traits, such as developmental and physiological traits, and the percentage of essential oil under low irrigation compared with other light spectra. The RB-light significantly increased phenol and flavonoid content by 92 % and 121 %, respectively, compared with C-light and resulted in a 2.5 times increase in essential oil percentage. Based on GC-MS analysis, 3-pinanone, caryophyllene, germacrene-D, elemol were the most abundant components. Elemol showed the highest amount (45 %) in RB-light condition. It appears that the RB-light could elevate plant resistance to low irrigation, improve plant performance, and increase the plant essential oil production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 121432"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144519172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the crucial properties recognized are porosity, resistance to acids, water absorption at normal and high temperatures, bulk density, and compressive strength. Since the alumina content of RH is very less it was essential to replace it with SB in order to balance it with aluminates. Specimens of geopolymer brick were prepared with different concentrations of NaOH and cured for 7, 28, and 90 days. The highest strength in compression was found at a concentration of 16 M NaOH. The casted specimens then went into testing and characterizing various Si/Al ratios. It has been known that alumina has a positive effect on the grain boundary; however, it reduces the compressive strength. Specimens with a Si/Al ratio of 2:1 showed higher compressive strength after 90 curing days compared with the samples that had ratios of 3:1 and 1:1. These crop-based geopolymer bricks, using crop-derived ash materials, comply with ASTM C62 and Egyptian standards. These might be excellent sustainable industrial alternatives in the construction materials, aligning to SDG 9 and 11, industry, innovation, infrastructure, and climate action.

To enhance their stability and bioactivity, SPH was encapsulated using biopolymer matrices composed of starch (ST), gum arabic (GA), and sesame protein isolate (SPI) at different ratios. Encapsulation efficiency, solubility, and moisture content were evaluated, revealing that a 1:6 (ST-GA:SPI) ratio provided the highest encapsulation efficiency (70 %) and improved physicochemical stability. Structural analyses using SEM, AFM, DLS, and FTIR confirmed the formation of smaller and more stable particles with desirable surface characteristics. Antimicrobial assays, including fluorescence microscopy and bacterial growth inhibition tests, demonstrated that encapsulated SPH at the optimal ratio reduced <em>Escherichia coli</em> growth by 65.46 %, with clear evidence of membrane damage. These results highlight the synergistic effects of protein-based wall materials in improving encapsulation performance and antimicrobial efficacy. This study suggests that SPI-enriched encapsulation systems are an effective strategy for stabilizing bioactive peptides and enhancing their functionality in food and feed formulations. These findings support the use of encapsulated SPH as a promising natural preservative with broad application potential in agricultural and nutritional industries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 121383"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
