Plant responses to different light and water availability are variable among species and their respective phenotypic plasticity, and the combination between these two abiotic factors can alleviate or intensify stressful effects. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of exposure time of Vell. seedlings to different water and light availability considering natural radiation variations and the interaction of these factors. Seedlings were submitted to combinations of three shading levels-SH (0, 30 and 70%) and three water regimes based on the water holding capacity (WHC) in the substrate, constituting nine cultivation conditions: T1-0% SH + 40% WHC; T2-0% SH + 70% WHC; T3-0% SH + 100% WHC; T4-30% SH + 40% WHC; T5-30% SH + 70% WHC; T6-30% SH + 100% WHC; T7-70% SH + 40% WHC; T8-70% SH + 70% WHC; T9-70% SH + 100% WHC. seedlings are sensitive to water deficit, here represented by 40% WHC, regardless of exposure time, and when cultivated in full sun even though there are variations in radiation, the stressful effects were enhanced, acting in a synergistic manner. The condition that provided better gas exchange performance and greater total dry mass accumulation for seedlings was 30% shading combined with 100% WHC. seedlings have physiological plasticity and resilience to survive under different water and light conditions.

The global challenge of food waste necessitates innovative solutions, such as incorporating carrot pomace, a nutrient-rich by-product of carrot juice production, into beef patties to enhance their nutritional and functional properties. This study evaluated beef patties with carrot pomace added at 0%, 1.0%, 3.

This study aimed to transform raspberry pomace, a by-product of the berry industry, into a sustainable, fiber-rich functional ingredient using convective drying. Drying experiments were conducted at temperatures of 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 °C to identify the optimal conditions that balance process efficiency and preservation of functional and bioactive properties. The best results were achieved at 70 °C, where a high drying rate () of 0.

Oil spillage is one of the serious problems for sustainable environment. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a hydrophilic and highly porous material holds a promising material for oil-water separation from contaminants. In the present work, a hydrophilic BNC produced from a sorbitol as the carbon source demonstrated the unique porous symmetrical arrangement having an oleophilic property.
