Food products in the supermarket often leave a big trail of waste. This is certainly the case with the cashew nut. In ACS Food Science & Technology, researchers from Colombia have come up with a solution: plant-based burgers made from the cashew apple.
Scientist Marthe Wens (32) is active in Scientist Rebellion. She learned to protest step by step. ‘At first, I watched from the sidelines until I was ready to take action myself.’
An international team has discovered that an eight-membered ring has a previously overlooked potential for chirality. Its surprising robustness opens up interesting applications, they report in ChemPhotoChem.
Alcohol-free beer still needs improvement in taste. Scott Lafontaine’s research in ACS Food Science & Technology looks at alternative yeasts that can be used to brew tastier beers.
