HIGHLIGHTS The use of grape molasses and other additives reduced the cake brightness. Enriched samples had higher ash crude protein content than control samples. All increased total phenolic antioxidant activity (p<0.05) Pomegranate seed flaxseed improved Ca, P K contents cakes.

Laccase (LAC) is the key enzyme responsible for lignin biosynthesis. Here, 57 PgLACs from pomegranate were identified and distributed on eight chromosomes one unplaced scaffold. They divided into six groups containing three typical Cu-oxidase domains. Totally, 51 cis-acting elements in promoter region of are involved response to ABA, GA, light, stress, etc., indicating diverse functions PgLACs....

Pomegranate fruits are highly diverse and may be divided into geographical groupings based on their characteristics. Genetic research has verified these categories in recent years further categorized variants geographic-genetic groupings. This study aimed to assess the biochemical contents of eight varieties pomegranate fruit seed categorization using multivariate statistical analysis. Polyphen...

Background. Miguel Hernandez University (Spain) created a germplasm bank of the varieties of pomegranate from different Southeastern Spain localities in order to preserve the crop's wide genetic diversity. Once this collection was established, the next step was to characterize the phenotype of these varieties to determine the phenotypic variability that existed among all the different pomegrana...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with hyperglycemia, inflammatory disorders and abnormal lipid profiles. Several functional foods have therapeutic potential to treat chronic diseases including diabetes. The therapeutic potential of pomegranate has been stated by multitudinous scientists. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of pomegranate juice and seed powder...

Pomegranate produces fruit with high nutritional value. Of particular interest is the woody part of seed, which influences consumer acceptability and rich in bioactive components. The aim this study was to morphoanatomically biochemically characterize tegmen local commercial pomegranates grown Italy. SEM a texturometer were used for morphoanatomical hardness analysis, respectively, gravimetric ...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel is a nutritive, antioxidant rich byproduct, easily available after production of pomegranate juice and ready to eat arils. The present study is undertaken to know the nutritional importance of fresh and detanninated pomegranate peel powder. Fresh pomegranate peel collected after juice extraction from Bhagwa variety of pomegranate. Fresh peels were crushed fine...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of irradiation of pomegranate seed (PS) on chemical composition, digestibility and kinetic of gas production. Pomegranate seeds were exposed to gamma ray (GR) and electron beam (EB) at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 kGy. Three ruminally fistulated rams were used for obtaining ruminal fluid for in vitro digestibility and gas production measuremen...

In this study, we investigated whether components of pomegranate could inhibit CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism. The ability of pomegranate to inhibit the carbamazepine 10,11-epoxidase activity of CYP3A was examined using human liver microsomes, and pomegranate juice was shown to be a potent inhibitor of human CYP3A. Addition of 25 microl (5.0% v/v) of pomegranate juice resulted in almost complet...
