Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel was extracted with water: ethanol (1:1) at room temperature and the extract was evaluated for antioxidant potential against AAPH induced lipid peroxidation in vitro in mice synaptosomes. In addition, its neuroprotective efficacy against rotenone-induced mortality, motor deficits and oxidative stress in Drosophila melanogaster was also assessed. Extract showed ...

BACKGROUND Modelling moisture diffusivity of pomegranate cultivars is considered to be a major aspect of the drying process optimization. Its goal is mainly to apply the optimum drying method and conditions in which the final product meets the required standards. Temperature is the major parameter which affects the moisture diffusivity. This parameter is not equal for different cultivars of pom...
