Agro-industrial wastes possess highly-valuable bioactive compounds. Recently, they have been taken into account as an alternative source that can be used raw material for various industries. Such approach help to reduce both production cost and pollution load. In this study, the usability of pomegranate peels olive leaves, defined agricultural industrial residues, a combined tanning agent in le...

This study was aimed to compare the relative activities of the purified pomegranate peels polyphenols (PPPs) with some other plant polyphenols including punicalagin, ellagic acid, gallic acid, phlorizin, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the lipid metabolism regulation, and the cholesterol efflux mechanisms of PPPs and punicalagin were also investigated. In this paper, a convenient and acc...

The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the ability of nanoemulsion entrapping pomegranate peel polyphenol-rich ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) prepared from pomegranate seed oil and medium chain triglyceride to protect human erythrocyte membrane from oxidative damage and to assess preliminary in vitro photosafety. In order to evaluate the phototoxic effect of nanoemulsions, human red...

Purpose: Methotrexate (MTX) is prescribed in many diseases and can result in oxidative stress (OS) followed by injuries in some tissues. Antioxidants administration are effective in reducing OS. Pomegranate exhibits high anti-oxidant capacities. This study investigated whether pomegranate seed and peel methanolic extracts (PSE and PPE) could protect against MTX-induced OS and lipid profile chan...

throughout the present, caseinate based edible films containing extracts of pomegranate peel were prepared in 3 levels of ×1, ×1.5 and ×2 (mic) and the physicomechanical, thermal, antimicrobial, and barrier properties of the films studied. to assess the microstructure changes resulting from the addition of the antimicrobial extracts, sem images were prepared from the surface and cross-section o...
