The constant search for extraterrestrial life drives this interdisciplinary research endeavour to dive into the mysteries of celestial bodies that may harbour life beyond Earth. We want to uncover exoplanets, moons, and planets with the potential to sustain life's complicated processes by methodically analysing data collected from cutting-edge grou...

Fermented plant-based products are rapidly gaining popularity. Jerusalem artichoke is a medicinal plant that can be used to make fermented beverages. Samples were subjected to pretreatment (ultrasound at 35 kHz for 2, 4, and 6 min, freezing at –80 °C and −17 °C) while an untreated sample was used as control. It was shown that all types of pretreatm...
