Muskmelon ( fruit is a best source of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive components. Ingestion of high sugary drinks leads to numerous ailments such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and tooth decay. This study intended at formulation of intermediate moisture food with various combinations of sugar and glycerol and same levels of potassium metabisulphite, potassium sorbate, calcium chloride, and citric acid. It was observed a gradual decrease in TSS (56.53-53.28), vitamin C level in all treatments with the passage of time. The declining trend in ascorbic acid (25.49-21.63 mg/100 g) content of muskmelon chunks was increased as a function of storage. Sensory results showed that there was declining trend in the scores obtained for color parameter, that is, from 60.23 to 55.98. The overall results showed that combination of different additives contributed best values (T) for flavor (7.70), taste (8.15), vitamin C (25.60 mg/100 g), and pH (5.16) as compared to other treatments. Conclusively, developed chunks of treatment 3 are physicochemical and organoleptically considered best, as it is helpful to sustain life stability of muskmelon and enhance its marketability.

Article Synopsis
- The commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is hindered by their fragility and sensitivity to moisture.
- A new asynchronous cross-linking strategy using divinyl sulfone (DVS) improves perovskite crystallization and creates a durable network through post-treatment with glycerinum.
- This method boosts the efficiency of PSCs to over 25%, enhances their water resistance, reduces stress, and improves durability, marking a significant advancement in their performance and longevity.
Sucrose synthase gene family in common bean during pod filling subjected to moisture restriction.

Article Synopsis
- Drought significantly impacts leaf photosynthesis in common beans, but some cultivars compensate by using pod walls as carbohydrate reservoirs for seed filling.
- A genome-wide analysis of the sucrose synthase (SUS) gene family revealed 7 genes with varying structures and evolutionary relationships among plant species.
- Experiments showed increased SUS activity and higher fructose and sucrose levels in pods under water restriction, indicating enhanced transport and metabolic processes during seed development under drought conditions.
Smart pH-sensitive indicators based on rice starch/pectin/alginate loading Lambrusco pomace extract and curcumin to track the freshness of pink shrimps.

This research is focused on the formulation and testing of green visual pH-sensitive indicators based on natural extracts from Curcuma Longa (CUR) and Lambrusco wine pomace (LAM), an Italian wine variety, incorporated into rice starch/pectin/alginate matrixes for non-destructively detecting shrimps freshness in real-time. The effect of the mixed indicators and their synergic combination on the properties and performances of indicators was investigated. Both the extracts and their combination showed pronounced pH responsiveness.

Plant vendors generate a commercial species pool, the subset of species in a regional flora that is purchasable. The availability of plant species from commercial vendors can influence the composition and outcomes of conservation, landscaping, and restoration plantings. Although previous research suggests that most plant species are unavailable, there is little information that identifies the plant characteristics associated with commercial availability.
