A new method of using microwave vacuum drying can create crispy beet snacks—a potential alternative to traditional drying or frying that could preserve nutrients while yielding shelf-stable products.
As global populations continue to grow, so does the need for nutritious food and efficient manufacturing processes. Current food production practices generate side streams that could be recycled.
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) have investigated how summer storms change the ecology of deep, clear lakes in a large-scale experiment in the LakeLab at Lake Stechlin. ...
Every year, millions of tons of food end up in South Africa's landfills. This is a wasted resource that deepens environmental damage, worsens food insecurity and costs the economy billions. But there are opportunities to ...
