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...

The effect of two extraction methods of pomegranate juice on its quality and stability was evaluated. The first method consisted of separation of the seeds from fruits and centrifugation. The second method consisted of squeezing fruit halves with an electric lemon squeezer. During a period of 72 hours of cold storage at $4^\circ$ C, the juices were evaluated for the presence of sugars, organic ...

dietary antioxidants including phenolic compounds are believed to be effective nutrients in the prevention of oxidative stress related disease. pomegranate has been used for centuries in ancient cultures for its medicinal purpose and is widely acknowledged for antioxidant properties. the present study was designed to assess the effect of pomegranate fresh fruit consumption on the plasma antioxi...

Recently, natural products have been evaluated as sources of antimicrobial agents with efficacies against a variety of microorganisms. This study described the antibacterial and antifungal activities of pomegranate peel extract (rind), seed extract, juice and whole fruit on the selected bacteria and fungi. The peel extract has shown highest antimicrobial activity compared to other extracts. Amo...

Pomegranate fruit, like other types of fresh horticultural produce, are susceptible to high incidence preharvest and postharvest losses waste. Several studies have been done improve the production handling pomegranate fruit meet market standards, but little has in loss quantification, especially early stage value chain such as packhouse. Therefore, aim this study was quantify magnitude at packh...

BACKGROUND Nephrotoxicity is the major side-effect of cisplatin (CDDP), and it is reported to be gender-related. We evaluated the effects of pomegranate flower extract (PFE) as an antioxidant on CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity in female rats. METHODS Twenty-three adult female rats in four groups treated as following. Groups 1 and 2 received PFE at doses of 25 and 50 (mg/kg/day), respectively, for...

Pomegranate and pomegranate juices (PJs) have taken great attention for their health benefits in the last years. As there is an increasing concern about potential health benefits of ellagic acid, it is of great interest to evaluate alterations in ellagic acid concentration of commercial PJs. The purpose of this study is to analyze total phenolic, free and total ellagic acid content of six comme...

We collected and quantified both syntheticand natural Oriental fruit moth [Grapholitha molesia (Busck)] sex pheromone components in 250-1111 round-bottom flasks bv hexane rinsing of compounds adsorbed on the glass walls This simple procedure collected 100% of the pheromone evaporated inside the flask and was useful for quantifying both nanogram and microgram amounts of emitted pheromone Emissio...

The genetic differentiation and genetic structure of the peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii Matsumura (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae), was investigated in China, where the moth is native. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene of 180 individuals from 16 collections were sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that two sympatric and cryptic mtDNA lineages existed within C. sasakii i...
