Proanthocyanidins are major UV-absorbing compounds. To clarify the effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on the proanthocyanidin synthesis and antioxidant capacity of traditional rice varieties in Yuanyang terraced fields, we studied the effects of enhanced UV-B radiation (0, 2.5, 5.

- Chinese hickory shell, a food industry by-product, is underutilized, prompting research into sustainable technologies for its transformation.
- This study explores hydrothermal processes to efficiently produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from the shells, with variables like temperature and time influencing chemical structure and yield.
- The optimal conditions identified were a temperature of 160 °C for 2 hours, resulting in a high yield of XOS while minimizing unwanted by-products, which can significantly aid food waste valorization in the biorefinery sector.
Enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation affected the growth of rice and Magnaporthe oryzae, and changed the interactions between them. Increased UV-B radiation (5.0 kJ m-2 d-1) on rice leaves in a Yuanyang terrace was conducted before, during, and after infection of the leaves with Magnaporthe oryzae.
