Summary: This study compared the effects of dry, semi-dry, and wet milling methods on the properties of rice flour and steamed rice cakes (SRCs). It was found that the semi-dry milling method could provide rice flour suitable for preparing SRCs, with sensory and textural properties superior to dry milling and comparable to wet milling.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of nZVI and iron oxides on the growth, physiology, and biochemical traits of medicinal aromatic plants. The results showed that nZVI and Fe3O4 had positive impacts on plant growth and the synthesis of chlorophylls and secondary metabolites. However, at high concentrations, nZVI was more toxic than Fe3O4.
