This study employed an integrated untargeted metabolomics approach to identify resistanceassociated biomarkers in dwarf cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) genotypes under black mold stress-a severe foliar disease caused by Pilgeriella anacardii Arx & Müller. Metabolomic profiling was performed using ul...

The study aimed to develop a high-protein plant-based beverage from cashew nut byproducts and evaluate its physicochemical, nutritional, sensory, and physiological properties. Three formulations were prepared using byproducts (partially defatted cashew nut cake and cashew nut protein concentrate) and ...

This study evaluated the metabolic evolution and functional quality of green tea-based kombucha and pineapple juice-based kombucha fermented with the same symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts. Beverages were monitored over 0, 3, 5, and 7 days of fermentation using nuclear magnetic r...

The development of antifungal resistance is a complex process that involves the interaction between hosts, drugs, and microbial factors, all of which contribute to therapeutic ineffectiveness. For this reason, studies on natural products as possible therapeutic alternatives are increasingly necessary&...

The intensive use of mineral fertilizers increases production costs and environmental impacts, highlighting the need for more sustainable nutrient management strategies. This study evaluated whether hydrochar and biochar, both produced from cashew bagasse, could partially replace mineral fertilizers in...

Pitaya cultivation has been boosted around the world, but soil acidity can limit its development. This study aimed to evaluate the fertility of an Ultisol subjected to liming, as well as the growth and nutrition parameters of yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) plants in the&#...

Soy beverage is a healthy and flavorful drink that can be a lactose-free dairy substitute. In this work, probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12 in soy-based beverages was encapsulated, and the viability of the microorganisms was evaluated under different conditions. Spheres were obtained b...
