Chitosan-based active films were developed by incorporation of carvacrol (10 g/L), pomegranate peel extract (PPE, 10 g/L) and carvacrol + PPE (10 g/L of each) and their physical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties were investigated. Incorporation of carvacrol and carvacrol + PPE into the films significantly decreased the water vapor permeability, tensile strength and percentage of elongat...

BACKGROUND Co-products obtained from pomegranate juice processing contain high levels of polyphenols with potential high added values. From value-addition viewpoint, the aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of polyphenolic concentrations in pomegranate fruit co-products in different solvent extracts and assess the effect on the total antioxidant capacity using the FRAP, DPPH˙ and ABT...

conclusions this study showed the importance of considering syndrome differentiation and temperaments in interpreting the effect of p. granatum peels extract on ulcerative colitis. results therapeutic response was significantly higher in patients with hot temperament compared to patients with cold temperament in the p. granatum group (1.916 ± 0.492 versus -0.500 ± 0.500, p = 0.029). methods sev...

The present work was carried out to study the effect of vacuum packaging and pomegranate peel extract (PE) treatments on the quality of pacific white shrimp (Peneous vannamei) during refrigerated storage. Changes in pH, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine (TMA), aerobic plate counts, psychrophilic, lactic acid bacteria and enterobacteriaceae counts, m...

Traditional medicines from plants (herbs) are less effective due to inappropriate doses for treatment, but relatively safe side effects. The purpose of this study was determine the anthelmintic activity red pomegranate peel extract and juice in rabbits as experimental animals. This research is using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) Post Test Only Control approach. population were (Orytolagus ...

This study examined the applicability of pomegranate peel extracts (PPE) and microencapsulated (MPE) in yogurts made with cow’s milk soy drink mixtures. For preparing PPE, powders were extracted by 50% ethanol an ultrasonic water bath. PPE was encapsulated using a spray dryer. Phytochemical composition antioxidant activity MPE determined 0.5% 1% used yogurt production. Physicochemical, rheologi...

Plant-based nanoparticles (NPs) have many advantages over physical and chemical methods featured with several medicinal biological applications. In this study, zinc oxide NPs (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized using pomegranate peel aqueous extract, under mild ecofriendly conditions. The ZnO-NPs structure, morphology, optical properties investigated X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope...
