Crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization of two 1-phenyl-1-imidazoles: 4-(1-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde and 1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1-imidazole.

The title compounds, CHNO, (I), and CHNO, (II), are two 1-phenyl-1-imidazole derivatives, which differ in the substituent to the imidazole group on the arene ring, a benzaldehyde, (I), and an anisole, (II). Both mol-ecules pack with different motifs similar weak C-H⋯N/O inter-actions and differ with respect to the angles between the mean planes of the imidazole and arene rings [24.58 (7)° in (I) and 43.

Designing healthier plant-based foods: Fortification, digestion, and bioavailability.

Many consumers are incorporating more plant-based foods into their diets as a result of concerns about the environmental, ethical, and health impacts of animal sourced foods like meat, seafood, egg, and dairy products. Foods derived from animals negatively impact the environment by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. The livestock industry confines and slaughters billions of livestock animals each year.

Plant-based Milks: A Review of the Science Underpinning Their Design, Fabrication, and Performance.

Many consumers are interested in decreasing their consumption of animal products, such as bovine milk, because of health, environmental, and ethical reasons. The food industry is therefore developing a range of plant-based milk alternatives. These milk substitutes should be affordable, convenient, desirable, nutritional, and sustainable.
