Substituting Natural Honey for Cane Sugar (Sucrose) Retards Microbial Growth Independent of Water Activity During Storage of Tomato Jam
(European Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2022-11)
Today, there are several attempts to make nutritious food products low in glycemic carbohydrates as this can partly help in solving the ever-growing numbers of type 2 diabetes and obesity. We thus made two types of jam, ...
Entrepreneur-led food fortification: A complementary approach for nutritious diets in developing countries
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Small and micro food enterprises are critical implementation partners for fortification strategies that address the widespread micronutrient deficiencies in low-income countries. This paper describes the concept and practice ...
Effect of land rehabilitation measures on soil organic carbon fractions in semi-arid environment
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023-02)
Soil erosion threatens the sustainable intensification of food systems among
smallholder farmers in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). Intensifying adoption of soil
