The pectin was extracted using HSO, HNO, and HCl from the pulp of four coffee varieties (Harar, Sidama, Jimma, and Guji) collected from different regions of Ethiopia. The effect of extraction temperature, time, solid-to-liquid ratio, types of acid and coffee varieties on the physiochemical properties and yield of pectin were studied. A maximum pectin yield, which was 12.7 %, was obtained from Harar coffee pulp treated with HSO. The equivalent weight of the extracted pectin varied from 1111 to 1667 g/mol. The methoxyl contents of the extracted pectin ranged from 4.23 to 7.13 %. The degrees of esterification and anhydrouronic acid of the pectin ranged from 53 to 68.5 % and 35.5 to 68.8 %, respectively. The results show the yield and physiochemical properties of the coffee pulp pectin depend on extraction parameters, acid types, and coffee varieties. Moreover, the pectin extracted from coffee pulp showed strong gelling properties.

Article Synopsis
- This study measured acrylamide levels in traditionally brewed Ethiopian coffee varieties from regions including Jimma and Sidama.
- Acrylamide concentrations varied among coffee types, with the highest levels found in Hararge and Nekemte, while brewed coffee showed significantly lower concentrations for both first and second brews.
- Daily acrylamide intake from coffee was well within safe limits, though some concerns were noted for Nekemte coffee in specific areas, suggesting a need for strategies to reduce acrylamide levels to protect health.

The species complex (FLSC) currently comprises 11 phylogenetic species, including accepted names such as , , and , which have mostly been reported in association with citrus and coffee. Many varieties were documented by Wollenweber & Reinking (1935), which is indicative of a wider diversity of species within this group. The lack of type material in some cases, especially for the older names, means that definition by molecular phylogeny is very difficult.

Introduction: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often attribute the onset or worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms to intake of food. Hence, to alleviate symptoms, patients with IBS may avoid triggering foods, potentially impacting their dietary intake and diet quality. This study aimed to compare the habitual diet intake and quality of patients with IBS with controls and to explore the association between dietary habits and symptoms in patients with IBS.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 122 SCI participants revealed those with higher-level spinal injuries struggle more with meal preparation, often requiring assistance from others, and have a significant percentage reporting difficulties in various cooking tasks.
- * The average participant was 50 years old with a BMI of 32, predominantly male and white, and many reported challenges in purchasing and preparing food, with around 49% having trouble making simple meals.
