MSG oral administration significantly increased serum uric acid (by 94.702 %), urea (by 46.273 %), and creatinine (by 80.345 %) compared to controls.

Recently, there has been significant progress in the studies concerning innovative postharvest processing strategies to efficiently disinfect, inhibit browning, and uphold the quality of fresh-cut produce, which constitutes a pivotal undertaking within the horticulture sector. The current review scrutinized the utilization of new technologies in fresh lettuce post-harvest processing to mitigate food safety risks and identified scientific research gaps that could hinder these treatments' widespread adoption and future perspective. Plasma-activated water and electrolyzed water technologies have shown great potential to disinfect and prolong the shelf life of fresh-cut lettuce by washing. However, technologies like pulsed light, ultraviolet light, and Ultrasound as water-assisted or in hurdle with other technologies showed great potential as hurdle technologies for lettuce postharvest processing. Essential oils and Bacteriophages as biological technologies showed potential as a replacement for chemical methods, however, both could bind to the membranes of the lettuce material, changing their initial aroma and flavor or even causing safety concerns.

Farms thus need to decrease the environmental footprint of their operations dramatically. In order to identify strategies that support farmers on this path, many studies use mass flow simulation or optimization models. However, they do not account for “real farm practices” and typically focus on a specific environmental category only, mainly on greenhouse gas emissions. By doing so, they ignore potential trade-off or synergetic relations between environmental impact categories. Furthermore, most of these studies ignore farm-level economic effects. From a farmer's perspective, however, it is crucial that mechanisms to decrease environmental impacts have a positive effect on farm profitability. Against this background, we conduct a comprehensive environmental impact assessment including the impact categories climate change (with and without carbon sequestration), terrestrial acidification, freshwater eutrophication, land occupation, water use, fossil depletion and biodiversity and additionally estimate farm profitability. Based on farm characteristics and management practices, we explore factors that jointly affect environmental impacts and profitability of dairy farms. To this end, a detailed high-quality dataset including site- and farm-specific variables of seven organic pasture-based dairy farms located in Southern Bavaria, Germany, for the year 2021 was used to conduct a cradle-to-farm gate attributional life cycle assessment. Our results suggest that the sample farms perform comparatively well in most environmental categories and that trade-offs between different categories and farm profitability exist. While we could not identify a one-fits-all solution, i.e. farm characteristics or management practices that minimize environmental impacts in all categories and maximize profit at the same time, we were able to determine some joint levers. A low level of or no concentrate feeding respectively as well as not farming wetlands, applying low fertilizer rates and pursuing low replacement rates with high lifetime daily yields were identified as win-win solutions for almost all categories.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 101798"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143683213","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}

These include allergic reactions, toxicity, disruption of gut microbiota, and the promotion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Long-term exposure to antibiotic residues, even at low levels, exacerbates these risks, impacting not only individual health but also broader public health systems. Regulatory frameworks, such as the establishment of maximum residue limits (MRLs) and stringent monitoring, are crucial for ensuring food safety. However, there is a pressing need for alternative strategies in poultry production that reduce reliance on antibiotics while maintaining animal health. Public education, antimicrobial stewardship, and sustainable farming practices are vital to mitigate the risks posed by antibiotic residues.

Despite these benefits, the adoption of intercropping remains limited in Europe, including Finland, primarily due to socio-economic factors and perceived challenges. This research aims to fill the gap in understanding the farm-level economic implications of adopting oat-pea intercropping in Finnish agriculture. Using a dynamic optimization model, the study evaluates the profitability of oat-pea intercropping, considering dynamic factors such as crop yields, land utilization, and crop rotation, under different scenarios. Results showed that intercropping increases farmer's net present value (NPV) by reducing costs associated with nitrogen fertilization and increasing yields of various crops. When faba beans and peas are included as sole crops in the cropping system, profits increase by 37 %, driven by faba bean prices and positive yield effects on the following crops, i.e. pre-crop effects. Even with increased labor costs, including intercrops in crop rotations improves farm economy. More specifically, intercropping becomes unprofitable to be included in the crop rotation if labor costs increase by 2.6 times (442 €/ha). Increasing intercrops' price will lead to an increase in profits from 12 % to 32 %. Supportive policies, like enhancing agricultural extension services to train farmers in intercropping, could accelerate its adoption. Additionally, developing the market for pea-oat intercropping can promote wider acceptance by building strong connections between farmers, processors, and retailers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 101804"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143683226","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}
