Performance Evaluation of a Novel Solar Thermal Water Heating System Integrated with Thermal Energy Storage: A New Zealand Case Study

This study evaluates a solar thermal water heating system integrated with thermal energy storage (TES) for domestic hot water supply in New Zealand. A conventional system without TES was first assessed as the baseline case and then compared with a TES-integrated system using Para...

Safety and Metabolic Effects of Withania somnifera Seed Extract and Powder in Rats: Insights From DPP‐4 Molecular Docking

ABSTRACT Withania somnifera seeds remain understudied compared with roots despite increasing nutraceutical use. This study evaluated safety, metabolic effects, and potential DPP‐4 activity of seed extract (WSS‐E) and powder (WSS‐P) in rats. Twenty male Wistar rats were assigned t...

Polyphenol-Enriched Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) Meal Improves Lipid Quality and Delays Oxidative Deterioration of Refrigerated Broiler Breast Meat

This study investigated whether black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFL; Hermetia illucens L.) produced on polyphenol-rich agro-industrial by-products could enhance broiler meat lipid quality and oxidative stability during refrigerated storage. A total of 200 one-day-old Arbor Acres...

Exploring the Impact of Extraction Methods on the Nutritional and Sensory Profiles of Argan Oil from Mostaganem Kernels

Argan oil (Argania spinosa L.) is a culturally and economically significant product in North Africa, yet little is known about how extraction practices shape its nutritional and sensory qualities. The present study compares mechanical cold pressing with solvent extraction (diethy...
