Through a comprehensive review of published literature on fish glue (FG), the ecological glue for traditional furniture, the traditional handicraft for making FG was found to include six main processes: soaking, steaming, manual smashing, decoction, filtration, and airing. The handicraft that makes FG is manual and is not only time-consuming and laborious but does not have clearly documented standard processes and is thus less repeatable. Considering this, experiments to optimize a new technique for making FG were designed. Six basic technological processes (cutting and drying, crushing, soaking, decoction, filtration, and airing) were investigated to optimize the new glue production technique. The technological processes of the new technique were compared with those of the traditional handicraft method. The results indicated that preparing FG following the optimal processes of the new glue-making technique not only ensured the quality of the glue solution but also outperformed the traditional handicraft technique in the following aspects: 1) it simplifies the production process, reduces labor intensity, and saves time: the soaking time is decreased by 50% and the traditional manual smashing process is not required; 2) it improves the glue yield by 5.42%; and 3) due to introduction of mechanical processing, time and temperature are controllable, rendering production more repeatable and easily up-scaled.

Wild edible trees (WETs) play an important role in the diet of many rural communities. Therefore, research on their use and management is important to support both food sovereignty and local conservation of biocultural resources. We evaluated the different uses of WETs by the community of Zacualpan, Colima, in western Mexico, through 32 semi-structured interviews registering the species richness, plant parts consumed, and non-food uses.

Dazhu glutinous rice wine is a well-known traditional Chinese rice wine, and many local factories and handicraft workshops use different fermentation methods to produce it. Still, the influence of fermentation processes on glutinous rice wine is unclear. This study aimed to compare the difference between the two fermentation methods in the quality and bacterial composition of Dazhu glutinous rice wine.

Article Synopsis
- The handicraft sector is vital for cultural identity, employing traditional techniques that face challenges from counterfeiting, making authenticity important.
- This paper proposes a solution using blockchain and the Internet of Things to enhance the authenticity and security of cultural heritage in the handicraft industry.
- Experimental results show that a decentralized blockchain system outperforms traditional methods in verification and addition speeds, achieving verification about 4.66 times faster, although it has 38.21% higher transaction latency.

Background: The traditional knowledge in southern Yemen is rich in wild medicinal and food plants, which has been documented in our previous studies. In addition, other significant and general traditional usage for the daily livelihood requirements of local people (beyond medicinal and food plant uses) has not been studied before and needs urgent documentation.
Methods: Ethnobotanical data on of wild plants used by local people in southern Yemen were collected by oral questionnaire interviews.
