Extraction-dependent modulation of lipid structure, oxidative stability and bioactive composition of pomegranate seed oil: integrating process greenness with product quality

Abstract Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is a valuable source of punicic acid and lipophilic bioactive compounds; however, extraction conditions critically determine both oil quality and process sustainability. This study evaluated five extraction techniques—cold pressing (CP), Soxhle...

Soil Microbiome Changes under Long-Term Rye and Maize Monocropping Systems, Crop Rotation and Bare Fallow under Different Fertilization Variants

Microbial communities are recognized as critical and essential factors in maintaining crop and soil health. However, our current understanding of soil microbial status, particularly in long-term monocropping systems, remains limited, especially concerning interactions and communi...
