This paper investigates whether water-related climate stress predicts tail movements in food system assets and whether these spillovers vary across market regimes and investment horizons. Using daily data from January 2012 to January 2026, we examine...

The unpropitious conditions of the food processing environment trigger in Listeria monocytogenes stress response mechanisms that may affect the pathogen’s virulence. To date, many studies have revealed that acid, osmotic, heat, cold and oxidati...

Because the robust and rapid determination of spoilage microorganisms is becoming increasingly important in industry, the use of IR microspectroscopy, and the establishment of robust and versatile chemometric models for data processing and classifica...

Perceived stress affects emotional eating and food choices. However, the extent to which stress associates with food choice motives is not completely understood. This study assessed whether emotional eating mediates the associations between perceived...

Parental stress may influence adolescents’ food intake and weight development over time, however, it is largely unknown why this is the case. This study examines whether the link between parental stress and adolescents’ snack intake and weight outcom...

The present study aimed to investigate whether trust in circulating information and perceived stress are predictors of consumers’ fear of limited access to food as well as predictors of food purchase behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The...

Psychological stress and dietary behavior are interdependent forces that greatly influence mental and physical health. Thus, both what and how we eat impact our well-being. Maladaptive eating patterns, such as eating in response to emotional cues rat...

There are many ways to regulate emotions. People use both adaptive (e.g., regulation by music) and maladaptive (e.g., regulation by food) strategies to do this. We hypothesized that participants with a high level of food-based regulatory strategies a...

Perceived stress is the degree of stress experienced by an individual in the face of a stressor. Studies have shown that stress affects emotions, leads to behavioral changes, and is likely to trigger physical illnesses. According to the World Health...

Food safety hazards induce diverse cellular damages including DNA damage, oxidative stress, proteotoxic stress, and membrane disruption, ultimately contributing to various human diseases. Conventional toxicity assays, while effective, are often resou...

Childhood obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease influenced by various factors including behavioral, physical, and psychological conditions. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal and child stress and food addict...

The breeding of stress-tolerant cultivated plants that would allow for a reduction in harvest losses and undesirable decrease in quality attributes requires a new quality of knowledge on molecular markers associated with relevant agronomic traits, on...

Food-system stress tests can misdirect warning and policy interpretation when current-state screening, prospective entry and post-entry escalation are treated as one problem. This study develops a task-specific framework that fixes each prediction or...

Background/Objectives: The present investigation examined whether perceived stress statistically mediated the association between food insecurity and diet quality, as well as maladaptive eating behaviors (i.e., reward-based eating, comfort eating). M...

Rice (Oryza sativa), a crucial global staple, grapples with environmental stress and resource constraints, necessitating sustainable farming. This review explores the transformative role of transcription factors (TFs) in revolutionizing rice agricult...

The global prevalence of obesity has been increasing in recent years and is now the major public health challenge worldwide. While the risks of developing metabolic disorders (MD) including obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been historically tho...

Food systems operate as socio-ecological systems (SES) in which governance, markets, and biophysical constraints interact through feedback. However, how resilience capacities accumulate across sequential shocks, particularly in hyper-arid, import-dep...

Laboratory experiments have indicated that exposure to restorative ambiences in food environments can lead to beneficial outcomes for consumers, but there is little evidence if this positive effect holds true in real-life consumption conditions. Ther...
