TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented some of the LCA studies on agricultural and industrial food products, recent advances in LCA and their application on food products and reviewed literatures indicate that agricultural production is the hotspot in the life cycle of food products.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided contradicting this concept of RIN function, showing induction of fruit ripening in the absence of Rin, and shows that the rin allele is a gain-of-function, rather than null, mutation.

TL;DR: The presence of NaCl may improve the generation and stability of bubbles by enhancing the structures of the adsorption monolayer and interfacial film.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the generation efficiencies of two commonly used methods, mechanical agitation and sonication, in two surfactant systems and found that sonication was more effective than mechanical agitation in the generation of microbubbles in terms of higher gas hold-up, smaller bubble size, and larger interfacial area.

TL;DR: A change in consumption patterns from PBR to untreated rice (non-parboiled), and WMR to PMR or BR may conserve about 43–54 million tons of rice and reduce the risk from arsenic contamination in the arsenic prone area.
