Thermal rice oil degradation was evaluated by UV-Vis and NIR in three-way arrays assembled with samples, different temperatures, and the absorbance at different wavelengths by applying PARAFAC chemometric method. The loadings matrix of the mode corresponding to the samples (scores) contains the information related to the samples. The loadings on the temperature mode resemble kinetics profiles. These profiles change with the nature of the component responsible for the factor and evolve with the heating temperature. The loadings on the spectral mode reveal the antioxidants γ-oryzanol and tocopherol, and oxidation products are the components responsible for the two factors. The results achieved showed that the antioxidants concentration decreases starting at 70 °C while oxidation products start to increase more pronounced after 90 °C. The proposed method is shown to be a simple and fast way to obtain information about the oxidative stability of rice oils.

Starch is among the most abundant natural compounds in nature after cellulose. Studies have shown that the structure and functions of starch differ extensively across and among botanical types, isolation procedures, and climate factors, resulting in starch with significant variations in its chemical, physical, morphological, thermal, and functional characteristics. To enhance its beneficial properties and address inherent limitations, starch is modified through various techniques, resulting in significant alterations to its chemical and physical characteristics.

Thermochemical conversion technologies are emerging as one of the most promising approaches to tackle food waste crisis. However, the existing techniques confront significant challenges in terms of syngas selectivity and catalyst stability. This study introduced a cost-effective Joule heating approach utilizing sequential catalysts composed of treated stainless steel (SS) and biochar to optimize syngas production from food waste.

The Mexican rice borer, (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an economically important pest of sugarcane, rice, and corn in Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico. This pest is considered invasive in the US and is expanding its range northward. Due to its subtropical origin, 's northern distribution might be limited by cold tolerance.
