DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENT-ASSISTED BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM PLUM KERNEL OIL: IMPACT ON REACTION RATE AND FUEL QUALITY
Plum kernel oil (PKO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production as it is obtained from plum kernels that are a significant by-product of the fruit processing industry. The kernels contain a high oil content (up to 46.9%) with a favorable fatty acid profile dominated by oleic acid (over 70%). This study investigates the effect of the deep eu...

ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF AMYGDALIN FROM WASTE PLUM KERNELS
Amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside predominantly found in the seeds of stone fruits such as plums, apricots, and peaches, has long been recognized for its potential antitumor properties. The biological activity of amygdalin is attributed to the selective release of hydrocyanic acid, which exhibits cytotoxicity toward cancer cells. Given that extract...
