TL;DR: The present review comprehensively elaborates recent studies on functional additives and their mechanism of action and establishes their proficiency in extending quality and shelf-life of various fruits including guava, pear, blueberries and vegetables like cucumber, capsicum and mushroom.

TL;DR: This review aims to delineate the recent developments on the extraction of protein from plant sources using conventional and advanced green extraction technologies viz. biochemical extraction (single and concoction of enzymes), and physical extraction.

TL;DR: Evaluated the influence of frequent mid-season drainage as a measure of water saving technique besides inducing the pre-conditioning effect on genotypes to withstand water stress during the subsequent growth period of crop ontogeny and identified attributes responsible for the yield gap between aerobic and flooded rice.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different tillage systems (individual or combinations of spading, trampling and hand weeding) on rice productivity and soil ( Typic Paleudalf ) quality under in situ residue management in lowland conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight some important source of bioactive phenolic compounds and novel technologies for their efficient extraction, such as microwave, ultrasound, and supercritical methods, and highlight the use of response surface methodology (RSM) as a statistical tool for optimizing the recoveries of the phenolic bioactives from plant-based matrices.
