FROM WASTE TO BIOACTIVITY: UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF SWEET CHERRY PIT EXTRACTS VIA MICROWAVE AND ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION
Sweet cherry pits, a significant fraction of agro-industrial bio-waste, are often underutilized despite their richness in bioactive compounds. In line with sustainable resource management and circular economy principles, their valorization using green extraction techniques has gained attention. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-ass...
