Systematic Literature Review of Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Food Informatics Technologies: Unlocking Agri-Food Chain Innovation.

Access to food products is becoming more and more complex due to population growth, climate change, political and economic instability, disruptions in the global value chain, as well as changes in consumption dynamics and food insecurity. Therefore, agri-food chains face increasingly greater challenges in responding to these dynamics, where the digitalization of agri-food systems has become an innovative alternative. However, efforts to adopt and use the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution (precision agriculture, smart agriculture, the Industrial Internet of Things, and the Internet of Food, among others) are still a challenge to improve efficiency in the links of production (cultivation), processing (food production), and final consumption, from the perspective of the implementation of Food Informatics technologies that improve traceability, authenticity, consumer confidence, and reduce fraud.

hexanic extract triggers alteration in the energy metabolism in epimastigotes of .

Chagas disease (ChD), caused by , is endemic in American countries and an estimated 8 million people worldwide are chronically infected. Currently, only two drugs are available for therapeutic use against and their use is controversial due to several disadvantages associated with side effects and low compliance with treatment. Therefore, there is a need to search for new tripanocidal agents.

Nutritional Value and Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activity of Wild Macrofungi.

Macrofungi are among the most promising sources of biologically active natural products with nutritional qualities and therapeutic values. In this work, the nutritional value of nine species of wild macrofungi from Ibague-Tolima (Colombia) was evaluated. In addition the antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of an ethanol:water (70:30) extract of wild basidiomata were evaluated.

Encapsulation of bioactive compounds from byproducts of two species of passionflowers: evaluation of the physicochemical properties and controlled release in a gastrointestinal model.

This study aimed to evaluate the release of active components with antioxidant and antihypertensive capacity from encapsulated extracts of the peel and seeds of Gulupa ( f. ) and Cholupa () in an gastrointestinal digestion model. Microencapsulated extracts were prepared with enzymatically modified rice starch as the encapsulating material and ethanol extracts of seeds and peel of f.

Rice-Associated Rhizobacteria as a Source of Secondary Metabolites against .

Various diseases, including bacterial panicle blight (BPB) and sheath rot, threaten rice production. It has been established that () is the causative agent of the above mentioned pathologies. In the present study, antagonistic activity, growth promotion, and the metabolite profiles of two rhizobacteria, isolated in different paddy fields, were assessed against .
