Effect of applied B, Cu, Mn and Zn on soybean yield and micronutrient concentration
… Cu, Mn and Zn on soybean seed yield and tissue micronutrient concentration was studied under different field conditions. Manganese application increased soybean seed yield on the Dragston, Myatt and Slagle fine sandy loams, but not on Rains fine sandy loam. Seed yield was not affected by applied …

Microstructural changes and micronutrient bioaccessibility in soft-solid foods, using a model fresh cheese and in vitro digestion
Processed food products are complex matrices with many components interacting below 100 μm. These interactions will dictate the characteristics of product from a physical, chemical and nutritional point of view. The increasing demand for food products with health benefits and functional properties …
