A unique 1,3-dipolar [3+2] cycloaddition of alkyl 4-oxo-4-arylbut-2-enoates bearing two different electron-withdrawing groups was completed by using the silver/(R)-DTBM-Segphos catalyst system, which gives the corresponding fully substituted pyrrolidines with four stereogenic centers in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).

Lignocellulosic biomass-based plastics provide a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics by converting agricultural by-products into value-added materials, promoting a circular economy. This study investigates the development of thermoplastics from sugar beet pulp (SBP), a by-product rich in cellulose and pectin. A one-pot direct transesterification process was used to fully substitute hydroxy groups in SBP with acyl chains of varying lengths (C2-C10), achieving up to 96 % substitution.

The expansion of alternative food industries, including cultured meat, is often promoted as a strategy to reduce environmental pollution, particularly greenhouse gas emissions. However, comprehensive data on the environmental impacts of these industries remains limited. This study examines the environmental impacts of traditional meat and meat substitute production, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Background: It has been demonstrated that older adults' cognitive capacities can be improved with sleep duration. However, the relationship between overweight, obesity, and cognitive decline remains a subject of debate. The impact of sleep duration on cognitive performance in seniors with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m is largely unknown.

Context: Inspired by the newly synthesized endohedral fullerene T CH@C (1) and based on extensive density functional theory calculations, we predict herein a series of endohedral borafullerenes C CH@BC (4), T BH@BC (5), C HO@BC (6), C NH@BC (7), and T C@BC (8) which possess a BC (3) shell isovalent with C, with the neutral D C@BC (9) obtained from C@BC (8) by symmetric C─B substitutions. Detailed adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP) bonding analyses and iso-chemical shielding surfaces (ICSSs) calculations indicate that these core-shell species are spherically aromatic in nature, rendering high stability to the systems. More interestingly, based on the calculated effective donor-acceptor interaction between LP(O) → LV(B@BC) in HO@BC (6), we propose the concept of boron bond (BB) in chemistry which is defined as the in-phase orbital overlap between an electronegative atom A as lone-pair (LP) donor and an electron-deficient boron atom with a lone vacant (LV) orbital as LP acceptor.

Protein bar hardening negatively impacts shelf life, quality, and consumer acceptance. Although oxidation is known to negatively affect the flavor and texture of foods, the specific roles of lipid and protein oxidation in bar hardening have not been thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, most research has concentrated on dairy proteins, with a notable lack of studies addressing the hardening of plant-based protein bars.
