The consumption of pomegranate juice (PJ), a rich source of antioxidant polyphenols, has grown tremendously due to its reported health benefits. Pomegranate extracts, which incorporate the major antioxidants found in pomegranates, namely, ellagitannins, have been developed as botanical dietary supplements to provide an alternative convenient form for consuming the bioactive polyphenols found in...

nowadays, uncontrolled and frequent use of antibiotics may cause emergence of microbial resistanceamong pathogenic agents. therefore, the use of new synthetic and natural antimicrobial compounds isinevitable. one source of natural compounds in this respect comes from plants. the purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effects of peel extracts from sour and sweet pomegranate. meth...

in order to study seed hardening process in pomegranate, some of the relevant biochemical parameters were evaluated in fleshy part of arils or seeds in various soft and hard seeded pomegranate genotypes from the initial fruit set upto ripening stages. lignin was determined from the seeds and enzyme assays were performed on the flesh of arils. analysis of variance revealed significant difference...

BACKGROUND Chronic gingivitis is the most prevalent in all dentate animals. Regular methods for controlling it have been found to be ineffective, which have paved the way for the use of herbal products as an adjunctive to mechanical therapy as they are free to untoward effects and hence can be used for a long period of time. OBJECTIVE The antigingivitis effect of a gel containing pomegranate ...

In the present paper introduce an innovative approach to automatically detect and grade the diseases on pomegranate fruit. The diseased pomegranate plant shows specific symptoms colored spots that will occur on the pomegranate fruit. so it is important to monitoring the pomegranate during its growth period and at the time of harvest. The proposed system will be an efficient module that identifi...

There is a great demand for developing efficient extraction methods in order to reduce extraction time and increase the yield and activity of functional antioxidants. The yields, activities, and extraction kinetics of antioxidants from the dry peel of pomegranate marc were studied using ultrasound-assisted extraction in continuous and pulsed modes and the results were compared with conventional...

Peel powder and juice of fresh pomegranate (Punica granatum) were utilized to prepare cookies as sources of antioxidants, along with the other common ingredients, in the present study. The components were added in different proportions during the cookie preparation and their rheological, sensory and antioxidant properties were evaluated. Chemical composition (moisture, protein, carbohydrate and...
