Reduced enzymatic browning in potato tubers by specific editing of a Polyphenol oxidase gene via Ribonucleoprotein complexes delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 System. by Gonzalez, Matías Nicolás, Massa, Gabriela Alejandra, Andersson, Mariette, Turesson, Helle, Olsson, Niklas, Fält, Ann-Sofie, Storani, Leonardo, Decima Oneto, Cecilia Andrea, Hofvander, Per, Feingold, Sergio Enrique

“…Polyphenol Oxidases (PPOs) catalyze the conversion of phenolic substrates to quinones, leading to the formation of dark-colored precipitates in fruits and vegetables. This process, known as enzymatic browning, is the cause of undesirable changes in organoleptic properties and the loss of nutritional quality in plant-derived products. …”

Dietary diversity of rural Indonesian households declines over time with agricultural production diversity even as incomes rise by Mehraban, N., Ickowitz, A.

“…This decline in dietary diversity was mostly driven by the decreased consumption of nutritious food groups (fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish). Although the magnitude of the association between dietary diversity and production diversity was relatively small, the association between household production and consumption of some of these important food groups was quite substantial. …”

Life cycle assessment of animal-based foods and plant-based protein-rich alternatives: an environmental perspective by Detzel, A., Kruger, M., Busch, M., Blanco Gutiérrez, I., Varela Ortega, C., Manners, Rhys, Bez, J., Zannini, E.

“…The food and feed system is closely linked to the planetary and health boundaries and a transformation to healthy diets will require substantial dietary shifts towards healthy foods, such as nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes. RESULTS Extrudated vegetable meat alternatives consisting of protein combined with amaranth or buckwheat flour and a vegetable milk alternative made from lentil proteins were shown to have the potential to generate significantly less environmental impact than their animal-based counterparts in most of the environmental indicators examined, taking into account both functional units (mass and protein content). …”
