Plant-based proteins are important macronutrients in the human diet, crucial for cell development in our bodies and for supporting the immune system. Given their nutritional and functional properties, plant-based proteins are excellent candidates for the development of plant-based food. Among other things, plant-based cheese has been identified as a potential enabler for future innovation through improvements in ingredient technology. Unlike traditional dairy cheeses, plant-based cheeses are made from a variety of ingredients such as nuts and legumes that can be fortified with nutrients also found in traditional cheese. Of course, plant-based cheeses still have some nutritional drawbacks, and most of them are processed, which means they contain preservatives, colour additives and high sodium content. Nevertheless, the physicochemical and functional properties of plant-based proteins are of great interest to the food industry and the initial interest in natural sources of plant proteins has recently shifted to the field of modification and processing. This review discusses the natural sources and classification of plant-based proteins and summarises recent studies on processing methods in the production of plant-based cheese.

“…It is estimated that nearly 19.6 million ha in different states of India are left fallow during the postrainy season (Gumma et al., 2016), of which 11.7 million ha are rainfed. Safflower is moderately tolerant to water stress and salinity (Bassil et al., 2002) and has a strong taproot that may utilize in situ soil moisture from subsurface layers (Weiss, 2000).…”

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an edible oilseed crop mainly cultivated in marginal lands. This study evaluates safflower crop water requirements to understand its feasibility to cultivate under rainfed ecosystem through a field experiment undertaken at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semiarid Tropics research farm, India. Eight improved and stress‐tolerant safflower cultivars (five spiny and three non‐spiny) were evaluated in Vertisols at three soil depths, that is, shallow: <0.60 m, medium: 0.60–1.20 m, and deep:1.20–1.80 m, over 3 years (2009–2012). Wet, normal, and deficit rainfall years were experienced during 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012, respectively. Soil moisture, crop yield, and growth parameters were measured, and field‐scale hydrology was captured through a calibrated one‐dimensional water balance model. Safflower responded to available residual soil moisture which varied with soil depth and rainfall received in different years. Total crop water use was 300–320 mm during the postrainy season, of which about 70% was extracted in deep Vertisols and 55% in medium Vertisols through residual soil moisture. In addition, 30% of water requirement was met through postrainy season rainfall. Safflower grown in shallow Vertisols could only meet 40% of crop water requirement. Spiny cultivar NARI‐H‐15 grown in deep soil recorded a maximum yield of 1890 kg ha−1 in the wet year. Seed yield from spiny cultivars grown in deep and medium soils was nearly similar (1500–1600 kg ha−1) during wet and normal years; a significant reduction in yield (>50%) occurred in shallow soils and also during a rainfall deficit year. Spiny cultivars produced 10%–50% higher seed yield compared to non‐spiny cultivars. Growing safflower in medium and deep Vertisols provides opportunities for crop intensification.

“…Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the world's primary natural fibre crop, third largest oilseed crop (Waseem et al, 2017) and a prime agricultural commodity for several global economies. The crop provides the basic raw material (cotton fibre) to textile industry and known as "King of Fibre Crops" and "W hite Gold" (Walia et al, 2022).…”

Background: Cotton crop is sensitive in its young stages i.e. stand establishment. Cotton seeds are fuzzy and messy in handling and field sowing. Delinting is a necessary process done commonly using acids and are comprehensively not protective. Optimal plant population, growth and persistence are strongly influenced by germination and establishment. In line with this, it is necessary and needful of an hour to find an alternative, eco-friendly, ecologically safe and low cost seed treatment method. Methods: The experiment was conducted in two methods viz., a petridish method and roll-towel method with seed treatment methods viz., cowdung and red earth mix treated with and without biofertilizer and compared with acid-delinted and fuzzy seeds. The germino-metrics were determined using GerminaR package, an interactive web application and statistical analysis was performed using R software package v. 4.2.1. Result: The summative effect of seed treatment with fresh cow dung, red earth and biofertilizer (Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria) per kg of seeds at respective quantities (0.5:0.25:0.12) recorded significantly maximal germination indices and seedling growth determinants. This present study would be a complementary to comprehensively promote the use of indigenously available natural materials as an alternative to acids in cotton seed delinting.
