However, it is still necessary to investigate how different management practices of <em>Brachiaria ruziziensis</em> biomass during the off-season influence soybean productivity in succession. Therefore, the objective was to compare, over two years, the conventional method of soybean cultivation (without soil cover biomass) with different management practices of <em>Brachiaria ruziziensis</em> biomass (free growth, cut and regrowth of the forage, and grazing) during the off-season in a integrated crop-livestock system and how these management practices affect desiccation efficiency, biomass production and decomposition, C:N ratio, nutrient cycling, as well as soybean productivity in succession. The experiment was implemented in a Neossolo Quartzârenico in the state of Goiás, Brazil, using a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments consisted of soybean grown in <em>Brachiaria ruziziensis</em> biomass: with free growth; with cutting and regrowth of the forage; and under grazing during the off-season, in addition to an additional treatment of soybean without soil cover biomass. The results showed that the free growth management reduces the efficiency of forage desiccation. The grazing system, during the off-season, although providing lower biomass production of plant cover, maximizes nutrient recycling and fertilizer return to the soil, resulting in greater input cost savings. Soybean productivity in <em>Brachiaria ruziziensis</em> biomass in all systems increased by 23.49 % compared to soybean grown without soil cover biomass. The identification of forage management strategies provides pathways to improve nutrient use efficiency. These results can inform agricultural policies focused on sustainability, support decision-making in agricultural systems, and contribute to practices that maximize productivity and soil health, in addition to reducing costs with the acquisition of mineral fertilizers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101792"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OA is a degenerative joint disease commonly affecting diarthrodial joints, leading to disability, particularly among the elderly.

This review examines existing literature on the immunomodulatory effects of edible and medicinal mushrooms, proposing their potential in reducing OA risk. Findings indicate that mushrooms can suppress inflammation by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and proinflammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nitric oxide (NO), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukins (IL-1β, IL-b), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Given that these mediators are elevated in OA, mushroom-derived compounds may alleviate OA severity by modulating their expression. However, there remains a gap in research regarding the role of microRNA and nanotechnology in OA treatment, highlighting the need for further studies. This review provides comprehensive evidence supporting the anti-inflammatory properties of mushrooms, emphasizing their potential as an alternative therapeutic strategy for OA management.

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the retention of chemical components after each cycle, indicating a level of stability in the functional groups. Ethanol extraction yielded higher total phenolic content (TPC), while water extraction resulted in greater total flavonoid content (TFC); however, both decreased with additional hydrothermal brewing cycles. Caffeine and chlorogenic acid were more abundant in ethanol extracts, whereas water extracts exhibited stronger antioxidant activity (measured by ABTS and FRAP), particularly in Robusta SCGs. The bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity were reduced with additional SCGs brewing. Significant correlations between TPC, TFC, caffeine, and antioxidant measures underscore the potential for the sustainable reuse of SCGs as a bioactive resource.

The enzymatic polymer biodegradation, catalyzed by microbes, can address this issue by metabolizing the carbon from the polymer chain and decomposing it into simpler constituents. The key enzymes include hydrolase, lipase, cutinase, and peroxidase produced by diverse microorganisms and are responsible for the biodegradation of polymers. The present review has focused on several techniques of polymer biodegradation facilitated by enzymes through specific modes of action. The impact of enzymatic biodegradation of polymers on environmental sustainability has been thoroughly examined. This involves the microorganisms like fungi and bacteria, which utilize the substrate and depolymerize it. Microorganisms, such as bacterial species Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Ideonella, release various enzymes. Fungal species, specifically Pseudozyma, Candida, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, and the composite microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of polymers, have been studied extensively. Plastic deterioration occurs through aerobic and anaerobic processes, depending on the oxygen presence or oxygen absence conditions. The aerobic process operates efficiently and achieves total breakdown more rapidly than the anaerobic process. Aerobic degradation generates biogas, a renewable energy source, whereas anaerobic degradation creates methane-like gases, causing environmental issues. Oxidation and hydrolysis are the two reaction types involved in plastic biodegradation. The current investigation examines various plastics, including polyethene, polyurethane, polyethene terephthalate, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride, and their biodegradation mechanisms facilitated by different enzymes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101788"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mild fractionation was performed at two different centrifugation speeds (3000 rpm and 4000 rpm) for various time durations (1.5–4 min). Proximate composition revealed enhanced protein recovery at the higher centrifugation speed, with the highest protein concentration of 85.9 % obtained at 4000 rpm for 2.5 min. The speed and duration of centrifugation could be controlled to optimize the extraction and protein yield from faba bean flour. The albumin-to-globulin ratio increased after mild fractionation as the duration of centrifugation increased until a plateau was observed. Interfacial tension of the soluble fractions decreased as the duration of centrifugation increased. Emulsions prepared with 3000 rpm fractions had larger droplet sizes and destabilized rapidly, while the 4000 rpm fractions could produce stable emulsions with much smaller droplet sizes. The albumin-to-globulin ratio and the presence of various minor components (phenolics, saponins and phospholipids) had negligible effects on the emulsion stability. It was found that the higher amount of hydrophobic amino acids and higher surface hydrophobicity of the 4000 rpm fractions led to faster adsorption to the oil-water interface, which could be responsible for their better emulsion stabilization ability than the 3000 rpm fractions.
