FSU study on banana browning could help tackle food waste
The Steinbock research group investigated the formation and spread of brown spots on bananas, a striking case of biological pattern formation. In research published in Physical Biology, the team described how the spots appear during a two-day window, rapidly expand, but then mysteriously stall, leaving a sharp distinction between spots of brown and the still-yellow peel.
Undergraduate student, Nicholas Volya, is awarded the 2022 Kolthoff Award from the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry
