Re‐evaluation of salt of aspartame‐acesulfame (E 962) as food additive

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The present opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of salt of aspartame‐acesulfame (E 962) as a food additive. The Panel considered that upon ingestion, E 962 dissociates into aspartame and acesulfame ions which correspond to those of the authorised sweeteners aspartame (E 951) and acesulfame K (E 950). The Panel therefore assessed the safety of

Duckweed: The hidden treasure

Nepalese Journal of Biosciences, 2015
In recent years, the tiny aquatic angiospermic plants ‘duckweeds’ have become prominent because they provide high protein animal feed, organic fertilizer, bio-fuel; control mosquitoes; and, have great applicability in wastewater purification, toxicity testing, and in basic research and evolutionary model system.

Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) in Turkey

Webbia, 1984
Abstract Turkish Lemnaceae consists of 5 species, viz. Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden, Lemna gibba L., L. minor L., L. trisulca L. and L. turionifera Landolt. The Turkish distribution of the species was mapped. Duckweeds seem to be rare or absent along the southern fringe of the country, and in Inner and N. Anatolia between 32° and 42° E.

Varied Growth Media Necessitate Different Light Regimes for Indoor Duckweed Cultivation

Plants
Controlled indoor cultivation of duckweed plants can support remediation of wastewaters through generation of plant biomass. Despite numerous advantages, indoor cultivation of duckweeds on agri-food wastewaters remains underexplored.

Nanoplastics in Duckweed: Single-Cell Responses and Recovery

ACS Nano
Micro- and nanoplastics have emerged as critical contaminants in aquatic ecosystems due to their small size, persistent nature, and potential for bioaccumulation. Nanoplastics are particularly concerning because they can be widespread in aquatic environments and ingested by aquatic organisms, posing potential risks to ecological health and ...

Overexpression of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase (PSAT)-Enhanced Cadmium Resistance and Accumulation in Duckweed (Lemna turionifera 5511)

Plants
Cadmium (Cd) hampers plant growth and harms photosynthesis. Glutamate (Glu) responds to Cd stress and activates the Ca2+ signaling pathway in duckweed, emphasizing Glu’s significant role in Cd stress.

Developments in Toxicity Testing with Duckweeds

Journal of Xenobiotics
Duckweeds are a family of small floating macrophytes (the Lemnaceae) that inhabit quiet freshwaters worldwide. They have long been employed to determine toxicity to higher plants in the aquatic environment, and standardized national and international protocols have been developed for this purpose using two representative species. While these protocols,
