A selective agar plate medium (tannin-treated brain heart infusion agar supplemented with colistin-oxolinic acid) was developed to enumerate tannin-protein complex-degrading Streptococcus bovis in the feces of koalas. This medium was successfully used to enumerate strains from fecal samples but failed to enumerate those from pure cultures.

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...

Diet and lifestyle have long been recognized as important modifiers of health status. Modern scientific methods are being used to uncover, demystify, and validate the benefits of dietary constituents in health promotion. Likewise, many different foods are currently being studied for their role in the management of numerous disorders and conditions ranging from metabolic and inflammatory disorde...

In recent years, the number of scientific papers concerning pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) and its health properties has increased greatly, and there is great potential for the use of bioactive-rich pomegranate extracts as ingredients in functional foods and nutraceuticals. To translate this potential into effective strategies it is essential to further elucidate the mechanisms of the reporte...

A mixture of extracts from two common vegetables, red pomegranate and turmeric, when photoexcited at 380 nm, produced almost pure white light emission (WLE) with Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity index (0.35, 0.33) in acidic ethanol. It was also possible to obtain WLE in polyvinyl alcohol film (0.32, 0.25), and in gelatin gel (0.26, 0.33) using the same extract mixture. T...

Reducing pollution in various industries such as textile is very important. In this paper, two parallel methods were used to reduce of the process and application dye. The first approach was selection plant-based dyes (Madder with botanical name Rubia tinctorum Reseda odorata) a tannin-based mordant (pomegranate peel Punica granatum). second extraction dyeing ultrasound media. efficiency madder...

Silver carp fillets were treated with liposomal encapsulated and unencapsulated pomegranate peel extract at 0.5 and 1% w/w to evaluate the effect of the extracts on the shelf life of the fillets during 15 days of refrigerated storage. Quality changes of the samples were investigated in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and microbial c...
