Valorization of fruit pits from Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera as agro‐food byproducts: Bioactive properties and safety assessment for potential food additive applications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Food additives are widely used to extend the shelf life of foods and maintain their quality. In this study, the potential of Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera fruit pits (endocarp and seed) as food additives was investigated in terms of cytotoxicity, antigenotoxicity, antioxidant activity, enzymatic anti‐browning, and urease

Future glacial lake risk in High Mountain Asia

In Hochasien führen steigende Temperaturen und veränderte Niederschläge zum Rückzug der Gletscher und zur Ausweitung bzw. Neubildung von Gletscherseen. Deren plötzliche Entleerung kann zu Gletscherseeausbrüchen (GLOFs) werden – äußerst gefährlichen Naturkatastrophen.
