Pomegranate fruit production and consumption are restricted by appropriate postharvest handling practices. 1–MCP (1–methylcyclopropene) is a natural preservative of fruits vegetables; however, its effects on the storage different pomegranate varieties have not been extensively investigated. Herein, 1.0 μL L−1 three soft-seed ‘Mollar’, ‘Malisi’, ‘Tunisan soft seed’ two semi-soft-seed ‘Moyuruanzi...

In this study, we investigated whether pomegranate juice could inhibit CYP2C9 activity. The ability of pomegranate juice to inhibit the diclofenac 4'-hydroxylase activity of human CYP2C9 was examined using human liver microsomes. Pomegranate juice was shown to be a potent inhibitor of human CYP2C9. The addition of 25 microl (5% v/v) of pomegranate juice resulted in almost complete inhibition of...

The health benefits associated with pomegranate juice have led to the development of pomegranate extracts as botanical dietary supplements. Pomegranates contain hydrolyzable tannins in the form of punicalagins and punicalin as well as tannin-based complex oligomers that account for much of the antioxidant activity in juice. The content of ellagic acid has been used to standardize most pomegrana...

Two exploratory clinical studies investigating proprietary pomegranate products showed a trend of effectiveness in increasing prostate-specific antigen doubling time in patients with prostate cancer. A recent clinical study did not support these results. We therefore analysed a lot of the marketed pomegranate blend for co-active pomegranate compounds. The high-performance liquid chromatography ...

Pomegranate is gaining popularity because of its proved nutraceutical properties and highly adaptable to different climates. In southern Jalisco, Mexico, 18 genotypes were characterized on the basis fruit characteristics (21 traits) AFLP (Amplified Fragment length polymorphism) markers. The first three components a principal analysis (PCA) explained 71.5% variation. most important variables rel...

Pomegranate juice has gained a high reputation for its health properties and consequently is now a highly demanded product. However, there is an interest in knowing if there are differences between conventional and organic agricultural practices. For that reason, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, punicalagin isomers and sensory analysis of pomegranate juices from Mollar de Elche cul...

1062 ABSTRACT Background: Dietary supplementation with nutrients rich in antioxidants is associated with inhibition of atherogenic modifications to LDL, macrophage foam cell formation, and atherosclerosis. Pomegranates are a source of polyphenols and other antioxidants. Objective: We analyzed, in healthy male volunteers and in atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E–deficient (E0) mice, the effect of ...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has been used widely in the traditional medicine of various civilizations for more than 5000 years. The pomegranate tree has several parts; each part has useful medicinal effects. Previous studies have demonstrated the antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of pomegranate.

Having served as a symbolic fruit since ancient times, pomegranate (Punica granatum) has also gained considerable recognition as a functional food in the modern era. A large body of literature has linked pomegranate polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins (ATs) and hydrolyzable tannins (HTs), to the health-promoting activities of pomegranate juice and fruit extracts. However, it remains unclear ...
