In this work, two natural sources, including pomegranate peel extract and cochineal dye were employed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The natural silver complex from pomegranate peel extract resulted in nano-sized structures through solution-phase method, but this method was not efficient for cochineal dye-silver precursor and the as-formed products were highly agglomerated. Therefor...

the present experiment was conducted to determine metabolizable energy of pomegranate peel and pulp by adult cockerels. the pomegranate peel and pulp samples were gathered from three industries. this study had two experiments. each experiment was done in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicate (1 cockerel each). the cockerels fed conventional addition method (cam). the ...

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...

Antioxidant-rich fractions were extracted from pomegranate (Punica granatum) peels and seeds using ethyl acetate, methanol, and water. The extracts were screened for their potential as antioxidants using various in vitro models, such as beta-carotene-linoleate and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) model systems. The methanol extract of peels showed 83 and 81% antioxidant activity at 50 ppm ...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to improve different characteristics including antibacterial, antioxidant and physical properties of nanochitosan film by incorporating Mentha spicata essential oil (EO) and methanolic pomegranate peel and grape seed extracts. Methods: The determination of the chemical composition of M. spicata EO was conducted by means of gas chromatography with ma...

Fruit peels of Banana, Pomegranate, Sweet lime and Orange are highly rich in potash, ion, Zinc etc. Above fruit peels powder were formulated from the trace amounts and gradually increased for the preparation of three formulations as Formulation 1, Formulation 2 and Formulation 3. Three different formulations were applied for plant growth in two methods such as fruit peel powder, fruit peel powd...

background and aims: human adenoviruses can cause a diversity of clinical diseases, but there is no antiviral therapy formally approved by adenovirus infections. thus, antiviral agents derived from medicinal plants which are effective against adenoviruses infections are urgently required. therefore, this research was aimed to evaluate in vitro antiadenovirus activity of pomegranate (punica gran...

Aim To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel and juice, against the microorganisms considered the main etiologic agents of dental caries. Methods The values of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined against Streptococcus mutans Clarke ATCC® 25175™ strain and R...

BACKGROUND The present study investigated the difference between therapeutic responses of hot and cold temperament patients (based on traditional Persian medicine) with ulcerative colitis to pomegranate peel extract. METHODS Seventy-eight patients with moderate ulcerative colitis based on Lichtiger Colitis Activity Index (LCAI) criteria were randomized to receive an aqueous extract of the Pun...

conclusions our work suggested that pomegranate (punica granatum l.) peel has potential antifungal activity against candidiasis, and it is an attractive option for the development of new management strategies for candidiasis. results maximum inhibitions were attributed to peel extract of the pomegranate cultivar against candida species. the greatest antifungal inhibition among the eight differe...
