Next-Generation Functional Nanoplatforms: Engineering Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Targeted Bioactive Delivery and Health Applications

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are being recognized as a capable novel class of natural nanocarriers that have important uses in delivering bioactives and facilitating innovations in functional foods and precision health technologies. PDEVs are lipid-bilayer-enclosed vesicular structures that commonly occ...

Photocatalytic degradation of malachite green over a Fe3O4/ZnO S-scheme heterojunction: experimental and DFT insights

Using a combination of computational and experimental methods, a magnetic Fe3O4/ZnO S-scheme heterostructure was established for the effective photocatalytic degradation of malachite green (MG). A mesoporous heterostructure with improved light absorption, effective charge separation, and outstanding magnetic recoverabi...

Beyond sweetness: rare sugars as next-generation functional food ingredients for metabolic health, food innovation, and sugar-reduction strategies

Excessive consumption of added sugars has increased demand for food ingredients that reduce glycemic and caloric load while maintaining sweetness, bulk, processing functionality, and consumer acceptability. Rare sugars are low-abundance monosaccharides with compound-specific technological and physiological properties...
