From value-addition viewpoint, the aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of antioxidant capacity of pomegranate fruit co-products in different solvent extracts using the FRAP, DPPH ̇ and ABTS ̇+ assays during in vitro digestion. Antioxidant capacity in the investigated assays were in the order of peel > marc > juice throughout the in vitro digestion irrespective of the extraction solven...

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 composition of pomegranate peel, the main by-product during pomegranate processing, and some of the characteristics of the water-soluble pectins were investigated. Four tunisian pomegranate peels were subjected to hot aqueous extractions (86°C, 80min, 20mM nitric acid). Pomegranate peels yielded between 6.8% and 10.1% pectins. The extracted pectins were low methylated and were characterized...

Background: Literature review shows that there are not sufficient data about polyphenolic compounds of peel of Iranian pomegranate. So, this work was mainlyundertaken to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of dried peel of Iranian pomegranate. Methods: Pomegranate fruits were obtained from mature fruits grown in Saveh, Iran and the Pomegranate Peel (PP) were dried with three ...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a native plant, which has many different cultivars in Iran. This plant consists of rich biochemical compounds that plays an important role in human health. This research aims to study some of biochemical compounds of this valuable fruit. Extract of pell and seeds and juice of fruits were prepared. According to the outcomes of this study, the...

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...

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...

Nowadays, consumers are highly worried about using chemical preservatives in foods. Thus they tend to use natural and safe food products with healthful benefits. Pomegranate and its peel can have such a role. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity, Total Phenolics, and Flavonoids Properties of Different Parts of Pomegranate extracts. Three types of extracts were prepared with di...

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...
