Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) are working to improve the shelf life of omega-3 fatty acids to fortify foods for longer missions to space.
Cultivation of space-grown lettuce on board the International Space Station (ISS) could be a viable dietary supplement for astronauts, potentially replacing processed, pre-packaged space rations, a study shows.
A ground-breaking new mathematical model will help NASA to predict vitamin degradation in spaceflight food, ensuring astronauts remain fuelled on nutrient-rich diets, say researchers.
