Presented are results of a study on accumulation of naturally occurring Po and Pb in ecological and conventional farming food products in Poland: fruits, vegetables and cereals. The main idea behind this research was to determine the activity concentrations of Po and Pb in ecological and commercial food as well as calculate and compare the effective dose (radiation) connected to different origin of analyzed food products consumption. The studies showed the majority of all compared food samples contained similar Po and Pb activities and statistically, the consumption of organic and commercial food would give similar annual effective dose.

This research examined the distinction between organic and conventional mango fruits, chips, and juice using portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a sample of 100 mangoes (comprising 50 organic and 50 conventional) utilising a portable NIR spectrometer that spans a wavelength range from 900 to 1700 nm. The mangoes were assessed in their entirety and their juice and chip forms.

With the rising demand of saffron, it is essential to standardize the confirmation of its origin and identify any adulteration to maintain a good quality led market product. However, a rapid and reliable strategy for identifying the adulteration saffron is still lacks. Herein, a combination of headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed.

Starch has been recognized as a vital ingredient in surimi products due to its ability to absorb water, which reduces the deterioration of gels and water loss during freezing and thawing. However, it is essential to ascertain the role of starch in the formation of ice crystals and the texture of surimi gels. The impact of freeze-thaw cycles on the morphology and distribution of ice crystals, as well as the textural characteristics of gelatinized and ungelatinized starch-surimi gels was investigated.

Introduction: Reducing poverty through crop commercialization is one of the antipoverty efforts that helps promote health. This study explored the prevalence and the causal relationship between crop commercialization and rural Ethiopian households' multidimensional poverty using multilevel data.
Methods: The study uses data from the most recent nationally representative Ethiopian socioeconomic survey 2018/19 to calculate the rural multidimensional poverty index using the Alkire and Foster technique.
