Background: Soybean is a legume with high nutritional and functional value, rich in proteins, lipids and vitamins. Protein concentrates represent promising alternatives to animal proteins and their technological properties can be affected by the cultivation system. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two distinct cultivation systems and environments - lowland and highland soils - on the agronomic performance and quality parameters of grains and their protein concentrates across three soybean genotypes.
Results: Differences were observed among genotypes regarding plant height, with no significant influence of the cultivation system at stage V6; however, at stage R4, variations were noted. The chemical composition varied among genotypes, with BRS 257 exhibiting the highest protein content (428.4 g kg) in lowland soils. Productivity was higher in two genotypes cultivated in highland soils. On average, the cooking time of grains produced in highlands was shorter (66 min) compared to those produced in lowlands (75 min). In concentrates with at least 800.0 g kg protein, the oil absorption capacity and emulsion behavior were not influenced by the cultivation system; however, water absorption was higher (6640 g kg) in genotypes grown in lowlands. Foam formation and stability in soybeans produced in lowlands showed the highest volumes, which decreased over time but remained superior, except for BMX Delta IPRO.
Conclusions: The genotypes demonstrated satisfactory agronomic performance, exhibiting adequate potential for both crop ecosystems and promising technological properties for industrial applications, with adaptability to both systems. © 2025 The Author(s).

Purely organic materials showing efficient and persistent emission via room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) allow the design of minimalistic yet powerful technological solutions for sensing, bioimaging, information storage, and safety applications using the photonic design principle of digital luminescence. Although several promising materials exist, a deep understanding of the underlying structure-property relationship and, thus, development of rational design strategies are widely missing. Some of the best purely organic emitters follow the donor-acceptor-donor design motif.

Precision fermentation represents an innovative cell-based production approach that employs synthetic biology and metabolic engineering tools, revolutionizing global food production by utilizing "microbial cell factories" to produce added-value ingredients. However, its global implementation is hindered by technological and scalability bottlenecks, regulatory fragmentation, regional accessibility and consumer acceptance, and nutritional trade-offs challenges. This review utilizes illustrated case studies and modeling analysis to present a detailed exploration of precision fermentation intersecting with global cell-based food production, discussing actionable research gaps and insights as well as advanced bioengineering practices and analytical techniques, to address these challenges for ongoing academic research, industrial applications and policy initiatives, thus supporting the transition of fermentation-enabled food production toward efficient and sustainable manufacturing.

New psychoactive substances (NPS) present significant challenges for law enforcement and public health due to their rapid emergence and structural diversity, often outpacing the development of traditional analytical methods. This review explores using computational chemistry, particularly density functional theory (DFT), to obtain infrared spectra. This combination to characterize NPS began in the 2010s and has gained momentum across all continents in recent years.

To study the impact of pH-responsive labels prepared using traditional and different printing methods on fruit freshness monitoring and preservation, this study firstly optimized coaxial 3D printed labels by analyzing core-shell ratios and infill ratios, and predicted the impact of printing design on functionality of labels via four models. Then, the physicochemical properties of cast, dual-nozzle 3D printed, and coaxial 3D printed labels were compared. Finally, lightweight deep convolutional neural network models were used to enhance early warning intelligence.

Controlling the spontaneous emission of nanoscale quantum emitters (QEs) is crucial for developing advanced photon sources required in many areas of modern nanophotonics, including quantum information technologies. Conventional approaches to shaping photon emission are based on using bulky configurations, while approaches recently developed in quantum metaphotonics suffer from limited capabilities in achieving desired polarization states and directionality, failing to provide on-demand photon sources tailored precisely to technological needs. Here, we propose a universal approach to designing versatile photon sources using on-chip QE-coupled meta-optics that enable direct transformations of QE-excited surface plasmon polaritons into spatially propagating photon streams with arbitrary polarization states, directionality, and amplitudes via both resonance and geometric phases supplied by scattering meta-atoms.
