However, a significant disparity remains between agricultural SI accumulation and ultimate physiological efficacy, constrained by the yield-metabolism genetic antagonism “linkage drag” and the “dual-cage” matrix entrapment barrier. This review establishes an operationalized seed-to-table framework to bridge these gaps through precise profile tailoring. We critically evaluate upstream genetic interventions (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9-mediated flux redirection) and downstream processing (e.g., biotransformation, physical-field intensification, and green solvent engineering). A novel, evidence-based key performance indicator (KPI) matrix is introduced to benchmark these technologies against standardized technology readiness levels (TRLs), economic burden (CapEx/OpEx), and systemic trade-offs. Crucially, we reframe SI bioavailability by accounting for Phase II metabolism, emphasizing that aglycone enrichment optimizes pharmacokinetic consistency and absorption kinetics rather than absolute systemic exposure. By integrating human clinical evidence and safety considerations for vulnerable populations (e.g., ER+ breast cancer survivors), this work bridges the persistent validation gap between laboratory innovation and clinical outcomes.

The award is named to honor Professor Manfred (Fred) Kroger, Professor Emeritus at the Pennsylvania State University, who served as the Scientific Editor for the &lt;i&gt;CRFSFS&lt;/i&gt; from 2006 to 2018. Dr. Buchanan is a well-known expert in food safety whose career has encompassed academic appointments at two universities, serving as a research leader for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, and serving as a senior science advisor for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. His expertise includes aflatoxins&lt;i&gt;, Salmonella&lt;/i&gt;, risk assessment, and predictive microbiology. He also reviews several other journals. Our editorial team is grateful for Dr. Buchanan's willingness to review regularly for the journal. His comments are always insightful and beneficial to authors and editors alike. I asked Dr. Buchanan to share his thoughts and advice on peer review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert Buchanan, PhD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MEC: Why do you review journal articles?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RB: Reviewing others’ papers is payback for the reviewers who took the time to review my publication. Reviewing also helps me to stay in touch with trends and new developments in food science. Understanding the trends can be helpful when deciding where research funding should be allocated and where new regulations may be needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MEC: Do you have tips for reviewers to help them complete their reviews on time?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RB: Journals ought to allow at least 2 weeks for reviewing. Find a time to devote yourself to reviewing when you can concentrate, such as early in the morning. Staying current with food science trends and new research can aid the review process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MEC: When reviewing a comprehensive review, which manuscript characteristics tend to impress you, or discourage you, with the organization and content of the text?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RB: The introduction should include some background research and identify challenges before discussing more recent research on the topic. Authors should discuss the implications of the research they present. If a new technology is the subject of the manuscript, the authors should address how practical it will be for the food industry, including small- to medium-sized businesses. Will products produced using that technology be eligible for export to other nations? If mathematical modeling is included in the paper, the importance of the equations should be explained to readers who may not have a strong background in the topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations, Dr. Buchanan.

The common adsorbents are constrained by inadequate selectivity, limited capacity, and insufficient stability. This review systematically summarizes recent advances and application potential of novel gas adsorption materials for food quality detection, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), porous carbon materials (PCMs), and mixed matrix materials (MMMs)-with a focus on their synthesis strategies, adsorption performance, and respective advantages and limitations. Special emphasis is placed on their selective adsorption behavior toward different gases. The practical deployment of these materials continues to face challenges in the food quality detection aspects, including adsorption efficiency, high synthesis costs, limited stability, and complex fabrication processes.

Previous exposure studies undermined the true burden of plastic contamination, owing to the limited analytical detection range that resulted in the omission of nanoscale fractions and a potential underestimation of related toxicological risks. Recent studies have reported that approximately 90% of plastic particles detected in bottled water are MNPs. Food packaging materials are a crucial but frequently disregarded source of MP contamination among the various exposure pathways. During handling, processing, and storage, packaging plastics can release MPs into food, which has a direct impact on consumer health and food safety. Measurable concentrations of MPs with variable contamination profiles have been found in packaged beverages, dairy products, meat, snacks, and ready-to-eat foods, as per recent case studies. Despite ongoing methodological issues with size resolution, polymer discrimination, and sample standardization, various analytical techniques have been used for detection and characterization of MPs. The necessity of reducing MPs' presence in food systems is highlighted by their toxicological effects, which include possible bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and microbiota imbalance. Reducing exposure risks requires the implementation of preventive measures like better manufacturing techniques, sustainable packaging substitutes, and regulatory actions. The sources, migration, analytical techniques, health effects, and preventative measures of MPs in food packaging are summarized in this review.

The transition from dormancy to sprouting activates endogenous metabolic pathways that promote the accumulation of vitamins and diverse phytochemicals while reducing antinutritional compounds such as phytic acid. These changes are particularly relevant in the context of growing demand for gluten-free and clean-label food systems. This review evaluates recent advances in cereal and pseudocereal germination, with a focus on changes in whole-grain phytochemical composition and their implications for health-related outcomes. We discuss both shared phytochemicals, including γ-aminobutyric acid, phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and policosanols, as well as grain-specific metabolites such as alkylresorcinols, avenanthramides, avenacosides, benzoxazinoids, hordatines, 3-deoxyanthocyanins, and γ-oryzanols. Emerging nonthermal pretreatments before germination and post-germination interventions may modify phytochemical profiles and could influence bioaccessibility or biological activity; however, their health benefits require further validation. Evidence from preclinical and limited human studies indicates that germination enhances grain bioactivity and may support glycemic regulation, lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and gut microbiome function. Collectively, these findings position germinated grains as promising ingredients for next-generation functional foods, while underscoring the need for standardized, mechanistic, and translational research to fully realize their potential.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"25 4","pages":"e70574"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13396977/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148576250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
