“…Grading acid limes can help ensure that only high-quality fruits reach the market, leading to better marketability and reduced waste (Sawicka et al, 2023). However, it can be laborintensive and require equipment and resources (Elkaoud & Elglaly, 2019).…”

Acid lime plays a crucial role in the livelihoods of many Nepali farmers and holds substantial promise for local economic development. This study analyzed the economic aspects of acid lime production in three municipalities of the Nawalpur East district of Nepal: Madhyabindu, Bulingtar, and Bungdikali, and sought to identify the concerns and potential related to acid lime marketing and manufacturing. Data were gathered from 96 acid lime producers using a semi-structured questionnaire from May 2022 to July 2022. The average areas of acid lime cultivation and productivity were 0.387 ha and 3.061 mt ha-1, respectively. The production cost of acid lime was Rs. 104.82 kg-1. The rental values of land and labor costs (p=0.30) were the highest influencing elements at 35.99% and 19.71%, respectively. Other analyzed factors included the cost of fertilizer (p=0.20), plant protection (p<0.01), Bordeaux-micronutrients (p=0.35), and farm management (p=0.18). Benefit-cost analysis revealed a ratio of 0.80 and mean gross margin of Rs. -19.82 for acid lime production. The major problem for the production of acid lime was the lack of irrigation, whereas the lack of storage was found to be a major market problem and thus needed careful attention from the relevant authorities. This examination indicated that acid lime production is a practical choice for Nepali farmers in the countryside; however, there is a need for improvement in production management. This also suggests that acid lime farming has the potential to become a successful export-focused business in the long run in the Nawalpur East district of Nepal.

“…Red raspberries have a unique polyphenol profile, which is marked by the content of anthocyanins and ellagitannins. Red raspberry fruits, which are a source of diverse extracts and unique ingredients, have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolismstabilizing effects [49][50][51][52][53]. In Europe, Poland holds the position of being the second-largest raspberry producer.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the pomace drying methods (freeze-drying and convection-drying) and their percentage (0–10%) on selected physicochemical properties of gluten-free bread. The contents of nutrients (protein, fiber, fat, ash, and carbohydrates), bioactive compounds, antioxidant properties, acidity, baking efficiency, and moisture of the obtained products were determined. Fortifying the bread with raspberry pomace resulted in a change in fiber content from 18.13% d. b. (control sample) up to 19.97% d. b. (10% of freeze-dried pomace), and a change in the fat and ash content in the bread from 5.74% and 2.83% d. b. (control sample) to 7.18% and 3.12% d. b. (10% of freeze-dried pomace). The content of carbohydrates decreased after adding raspberry pomace to the bread, from 65.71% d. b. (control sample) to 63.68% d. b. (5% of freeze-dried pomace). The research carried out also showed that the introduction of 10% freeze-dried raspberry pomace increased the total polyphenol content by 81.75% and the antioxidant properties defined by the ABTS method by 159.54% and by the DPPH method by 96.43% compared to the control bread. The introduction of pomace resulted in a significant reduction in the total baking loss, from 15.1% to 10.62%, and an increase in the total titratable acidity of the crumb, from 2.13 mL NaOH/10 g d. b to 7.78 mL NaOH/10 g d. b. Principal component analysis highlighted a marked effect of the drying method and content of raspberry pomace on the quality values of gluten-free bread. This research demonstrated that raspberry pomace can be a valuable source of fiber and bioactive substances in gluten-free bread.

Natural substrates used in horticultural practice quickly degrade during plant cultivation. Methods to extend their service life are sought using natural materials, the acquisition and disposal of which do not burden the natural environment. The paper presents a sustainable method for modifying the coconut fiber substrate by impregnation with a wood-based isolate activated for polymerization and the addition of biochar pellets with retention-increasing properties. The modifications applied to the substrates were shown to have an impact on some of their physical properties, which directly impacted their usefulness in the horticultural production of dessert raspberries. It was found that after a year of operation, the modified substrates showed significantly lower levels of degradation markers. The shrinkage of the impregnated substrate was ~50% lower than that of the control sample, while the substrate with the addition of biochar pellets resulted in similar shrinkage and the lowest plant root mass (25.47%). The usefulness of these substrates was also verified by measuring the physiological parameters of the plants, which determined the ability to photosynthesize and build biomass, as well as susceptibility to stress potentially caused by substrate modifications. The recorded values of these parameters indicate, in most cases, that there is no disturbance of the homeostasis of raspberry plants grown using these substrates. However, plant productivity (measured by the yield of harvested raspberry fruit) indicates that the use of impregnated coconut fiber substrate with the addition of biochar pellets allows for obtaining the highest fruit yields (fruit yield—2.43 kg plant−1). The yields obtained in combination with the extended durability of the modified substrates during operation recommend this solution for use in horticultural practice and make the production more sustainable.
