Analysis of the Relationship Between Assimilate Production and Allocation and the Formation of Rice Quality by Jianming Tu, Fengting Wen, Feitong Li, Tingting Chen, Baohua Feng, Jie Xiong, Guanfu Fu, Yebo Qin, Wenting Wang

“…Correlation analysis indicated that dry matter mass and net photosynthetic rate were significantly positively correlated with yield, but not with taste quality, highlighting the complexity of taste quality formation. Using a membership function comprehensive evaluation method (combines the outputs of multiple membership functions into a single composite value using specific rules (e.g., weighted average, extremum, logical operations) to produce a new membership degree.), a rice variety selection system balancing yield and quality was constructed, and three varieties (Zhongzheyou 8, Huazheyou 261, and Quanyousimiao) were identified as having both high yield and excellent quality. …”

Physiological and biochemical aspects of using black lion fly larvae as a source of biologically active and nutrient substances by M. S. Talan, I. S. Dokuchaeva, M. A. Mukhamed'yarov

“…Introduction. Functional foods are products that, in addition to taste and nutritional value, have a physiological effect on the human body. ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids, when consumed in the form of triglycerides from various food sources, undergo digestion in the small intestine, allowing absorption and transport into the blood and subsequent assimilation into the body, including the brain, retina, heart and other tissues. …”
