Development and rheological characterization of a functional vegan mayonnaise enriched with fermented grape pomace powder and grape seed oil

This study demonstrates that a functional vegan mayonnaise enriched with 0.25% fermented grape pomace powder and formulated with sunflower oil achieves rheological and textural properties comparable to commercial full-fat mayonnaise, whereas the use of grape seed oil results in a weaker emulsion structure, highlighting the critical influence of oil type on the stability of waste-repurposed functional food products.

Agroecosystem-Driven Rhizoplane Bacteriome Assembly in Cassava Uncovers Bacillus-Mediated Suppression of Stem and Root Rot

This study reveals that cassava stem and root rot disrupts the rhizoplane bacteriome by depleting beneficial taxa, and identifies native *Bacillus* strains as effective, eco-friendly biocontrol agents that suppress the pathogen *Fusarium falciforme* and enhance plant growth.
