  • Valorization of carrot, cabbage, and red beet by-products : A review

    Agricultural and food science : 4 (Scientific Agricultural Society of Finland, 2025)
    Approximately 30% of vegetables end up as by-products during processing. Vegetable by-products have traditionally been used as animal feed, soil improvers, or raw material for biogas. In this literature review, we examine and discuss studies concerning the utilization of cabbage, carrot, and red beet by-products in a wide variety of applications, including technical applications. These vegetables are widely cultivated in northern climates as well as around the world, and there is a need to outline potential uses for their by-products. Numerous product ideas and research results exist concerning the use of by-products in food, feed, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, biosorbents, composites and films, energy products, soil amendments and pesticides, enzymes, dyes and biosurfactants, and electrical products. Food and food additives were the most examined targets of carrot, cabbage, and red beet by-product valorization. These studies could be used, for example, in creating a company’s by-prod ct utilization strategy. High-value biochemicals, tailored nutraceuticals, feed additives, bioplastics, or biofuels may be realistic options in large-scale production. Environmental, safety, and economic aspects must be taken into account when utilizing by-products.

    Indigenous cattle are central to livestock production in Africa, valued for their adaptability to harsh tropical environments despite lower productivity than commercial breeds. Genome analyses offer critical insights into the genetic potential for enhancing both resilience and productive traits, supporting the advancement of worldwide cattle farming systems. Here, we generated whole-genome sequence data for 240 indigenous cattle representing breeds from distinct agro-climatic regions in Egypt, Uganda, and South Africa. The dataset comprises over ten terabytes of paired-end reads generated using the Illumina NovaSeq. 6000 platform, with an average genome coverage of approximately 10×. Post-filtering reads were mapped to the ARS-UCD1.2 reference genome with a mean mapping rate of 99.2% (range: 64.5–99.9%). Variant calling identified ~43 million SNPs and 6 million indels (≤50 bp) unevenly distributed across the genome. Functional annotation indicated that many variants were located within or near known genes. This comprehensive genomic resource provides a foundation for future studies of genetic diversity, breed identity, population structure, local adaptation, breed-specific traits, or strategies for global cattle conservation.
  • Forest structure from airborne laser scanning explains nationwide occurrence patterns of pine marten, stoat and least weasel across Finland

    Forest ecology and management (Elsevier, 2026)
    Forest structural complexity strongly influences habitat suitability for forest-dwelling species. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides efficient nationwide quantification of three-dimensional forest structure, but its applications in animal ecology remain limited, particularly for understudied mustelids. Here, we combined nationwide ALS data from 173 flight campaigns with species presence-absence observations, an unprecedented scale for mustelid studies, to assess how ALS-derived forest structural metrics predict the occurrence of pine marten, stoat, and least weasel in Finland. We modeled occurrences using spatial hierarchical generalized linear mixed-effect models. ALS metrics capturing vertical complexity and canopy cover, alongside landscape and climate variables, explained broad-scale habitat associations for pine marten and stoat. Least weasel occurrence was less predictable, likely reflecting its microhabitat preferences and dependence on voles. Key predictors of mustelid occurrence included canopy height variability, mid- and upper-canopy density, and canopy cover of tree layer. Our findings show that nationwide ALS combined with species occurrence data can reveal habitat preferences of small and medium-sized mustelids, supporting conservation, monitoring and management planning.
