This research aims to look at dietary practices of separate populations from across the Adriatic Sea (Italy and Croatia). Paleodietary studies through stable isotope analysis is a means to look at possible food catchments chosen by past communities in order to make educated assu…

Biomass, being the only renewable source of carbon, has the potential to serve as a sustainable platform for the production of energy and chemicals, in this era of diminishing supplies of fossil fuels. The conversion of lignocellulose to fuels and chemicals requires the effectiv…

Sialic acids are a family of negatively charged monosaccharides with nine-carbon backbone. They have been found predominantly in nature as the outermost terminal units on glycans, glycoconjugates, or as components of surface polysaccharides of some pathogenic bacteria. More than…

In maize ( Zea mays L. ), the largest staple crop in the world, nitrogen (N) represents a major limiting factor for productivity. However, improving N use efficiency (NUE) is still one of the most critical research issues to achieve food security in a context affected by climate…

Physical modification of rice flour plays a pivotal role in the adoption and utilization of non-waxy rice cultivars. Understanding and optimizing the impact of applying physical modification techniques holds the potential of enhancing food security in non-waxy rice producing com…
