Pomegranate extract on eroded dentin: antioxidant action, bond strength and morphology of the adhesive interface after aging.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pomegranate solution (Punica granatum) on eroded dentin through antioxidant action, shear bond strength (SBS) and interface morphology. The 10% pomegranate peel extract was prepared by the lyophilization method. Punicalagin polyphenol was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by capturing the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. For the SBS, 48 dentin fragments were divided into sound or eroded, and subdivided according to the pretreatment (n = 12): water or P. granatum. The surfaces were restored with self-etch adhesive and a bulk-fill resin (Ecosite; DMG). The SBS was done immediately (24 hours) and after thermal cycling + water storage (12 months). For scanning electron microscopy, 48 dentin fragments (24 sound and 24 eroded) received the same treatments as for SBS (n = 6), and they were analyzed after 24 hours and 12 months. The P. granatum had antioxidant action similar (p = 0.246) to the phenolic standard antioxidants. After 24 hours, eroded dentin had lower SBS than sound dentin (p < 0.001), regardless of the pretreatment. After 12 months, P. granatum maintained the SBS of sound dentin (13.46 ± 3.42 MPa) and eroded dentin (10.96 ± 1.90 MPa) statistically similar. The lowest values were found on eroded dentin treated with water (5.75 ± 1.65 MPa) (p < 0.001). P. granatum on eroded dentin caused peritubular demineralization and hybrid layer with resin tags. The pomegranate extract had antioxidant action and preserved the adhesive interface of the eroded dentin.

Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Properties of Pectin Extracted from Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Peel

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing gradually over the last few decades. It has emerged as a global health concern that burdens public health and socioeconomic development. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in developing diabetic complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. There are various established adverse effects of current conventional antidiabetic drugs. Due to this fact, plants have been chosen for developing new drugs as the bioactive compounds in plants have higher antidiabetic and antioxidant properties with low toxicity. Pomegranate peel is an agro-industrial waste that is rich in pectin. Pectin is a natural polysaccharide that has gained importance due to its pharmacological properties. In this study, pectin from pomegranate peel was extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction to characterize the pectin and to evaluate its antioxidant and antidiabetic activity. Pomegranate peel pectin (PPP) was extracted using citric acid (solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:30 g/mL) at pH 2 under optimized conditions at 75°C for 40 min. A white sponge-like solid was obtained upon freeze-drying with a yield of 18.17%. The moisture content of pectin was 18.26% and it was found to be a low-methoxylated pectin with a degree of esterification (DE) of 31.07%. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that pectin from pomegranate peel was quite similar to commercial pectin. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using scavenging assays, 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Potential (FRAP) and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) at 1 mg/mL (78.26% with IC50 value of 326.8 μg/mL, 79.12% with IC50 value of 83.63 μg /mL and 442.7 mg Fe2+/g, respectively). The antidiabetic activity was assessed using an α-amylase inhibition assay at 1 mg/mL (43.82%). These results suggest that PPP has the potential to be used as an antidiabetic and antioxidant agents.

Linear and Non-linear Regression Methods to Study the Adsorption of Cr(VI) from an Aqueous Solution Using Pomegranate Peel

In this study, the previous data of the adsorption of Chromium (VI) ions on the pomegranate peels (MPGP) as adsorbents were used. linear and non-linear equations for Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Tempkin, Redlich-Peterson, Sips, and Toth adsorption isotherm models were applied. The five error functions ERRSQ, HYBRD, MPSD, ARE, and EABS were analyzed for non-linear isotherm equations and in each case a set of isotherm parameters were determined. The algorithms for the simulation of linear and non-linear isotherm models using error functions were achieved with the aid of Microsoft Excel solver Add-Ins for minimizing the respective error function across the concentration range studied. Linear and non-linear methods show comparable data for two-parameter models, also high R2 values were obtained for Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models while the Dubinin-Radushkevich model reveals low R2 values, on the contrary, three-parameter models show different data between linear and non-linear methods with high R2 value for all. Which indicates that the error does not obey the Gaussian distribution.

Development and Evaluation of an Eco-Friendly Hand Sanitizer Formulation Valorized from Fruit Peels.

Hand sanitizer usage has proven to be a common and practical method for reducing the spread of infectious diseases which can be caused by many harmful pathogens. There is a need for alcohol-free hand sanitizers because most hand sanitizers on the market are alcohol-based, and regular use of them can damage the skin and can be hazardous. India is the world's largest producer of fruits and one of the major problems after fruit consumption is their peels, causing waste management problems and contributing to the formation of greenhouse gases leading to air pollution and adding to the problem of climate change. Valorization of such wastes into other value-added products and their incorporation into formulations of eco-friendly alcohol-free hand sanitizers would solve these issues, save the environment, benefit the society, and help in achieving the sustainable development goals. Thus, this research focuses on formulating an effective natural alcohol-free hand sanitizer that harnesses the antimicrobial properties of the various types of bioactive components found in fruit peels of pomegranate, sweet lime, and lemon. The peel extracts and the formulated sanitizer proved considerable antimicrobial activity against the pathogenic Escherichia coli and hand microflora. Molecular docking was also applied to examine ligand-protein interaction patterns and predict binding conformers and affinity of the sanitizer phytocompounds towards target proteins in COVID-19, influenza, and pneumonia viruses. The binding affinities and the protein-ligand interactions virtual studies revealed that the sanitizer phytocompounds bind with the amino acids in the target proteins' active sites via hydrogen bonding interactions. As a result, it is possible to formulate a natural, alcohol-free hand sanitizer from fruit peels that is effective against pathogenic germs and viruses using the basic structure of these potential findings.

A Review: Use of Plants for Antioxidant Purposes in Fish Oil Microencapsulation

Fish oils, rich in essential n-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA and constituting approximately 80% unsaturated fatty acids, play a pivotal role in contemporary nutrition. However, the susceptibility of fish oil to oxidation and its off-putting fishy smell present obstacles to its widespread consumption. Microencapsulation, a technique involving the application of protective films, emerges as a viable solution to not only enhance oxidative stability but also mitigate sensory drawbacks. Despite the considerable global fish consumption, the daily intake of n-3 fatty acids in Western diets often falls short of recommended levels. In regions, where fish consumption is comparatively lower, the utilization of microencapsulated fish oils provides an alternative to guarantee sufficient intake. Commonly used coating materials involve proteins and carbohydrates, and the incorporation of antioxidants, be they synthetic or natural, further augments stability. Natural extracts, including rosemary, blueberry, oregano, and pomegranate peel, exhibit promise as potent antioxidants in the microencapsulation process. This review explores various studies on microencapsulation of fish oils using different natural antioxidants. The findings highlight the potential of microencapsulation to address challenges in fish oil consumption, making it a promising avenue for improving dietary habits and promoting human health.

Development of fiber-enriched muffins using pomegranate peel powder and its effect on physico-chemical properties and shelf life of the muffins.

Pomegranate peel is a by-product from the pomegranate processing industries and is a rich source of dietary fibers and bioactive compounds. It has good antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In the present study, the effects of substitution of refined wheat flour with pomegranate peel powder (PPP) at a rate of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% on the physico-chemical and sensorial properties as well as on the oxidative and microbial stability of muffins were investigated. A significant reduction in specific volume (1.99 to 1.57 cm3 g-1 ), weight loss (11.73 to 10.14 g 100 g-1 ) and an increase in crumb hardness (633.06 to 2311.5 g) of muffins were observed on addition of PPP. Moreover, the nutritional value was improved by a significant increase in the fiber content (4.39 to 10.66%), total phenols (0.443 to 48.53 mg GAE 100 g-1 ), antioxidant activity (75.94% to 99.36%), calcium (200.33 to 294.33 mg 100 g-1 ), potassium (227.33 to 425.33 mg 100 g-1 ) and magnesium (96.33 to 288.33 mg 100 g-1 ). The pasting and rheological properties of muffin batter showed a significant decrease in the final and peak viscosity, as well as increase in storage, loss and complex modulus. The muffin samples were organoleptically acceptable up to a level of 8% PPP. Free fatty acid content, peroxide value and microbial count of the muffin with 8% PPP were significantly lower compared to the control sample and more oxidatively and microbially stable for a storage period of 21 and 28 days at ambient and refrigerated temperatures, respectively. The present study provides the opportunity to use PPP as functional ingredients and natural preservative in the preparation of muffins. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Hot water infusion technique to prepare antioxidant-rich beverage with pomegranate peel: Formulation, nutritional study and cost analysis

This study aimed to utilize the pomegranate by-product for the formulation of antioxidant-rich beverage by the hot water infusion technique. The beverage was prepared with twelve variations of pomegranate peel powder at three different levels i.e. 2, 3 and 4 g along with combinations of three different spices (cardamom, ginger and cinnamon). Organoleptic properties of all the infusion formulations were examined, and it was noticed that the acceptable rate with no significant difference were there amongst the three levels of the pomegranate peel powder. Whereas, significant (p ≤ 0.05) difference in the acceptability of infusions with different spice powders was observed. However, cardamom spiced infusion was most liked by the panellist followed by ginger and cinnamon. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the beverage was compared with four commercial brands of green teas. Peel infusion's DPPH● and FRAP values were found to be greater than those of the green tea brands by 18 % and 11 %, respectively. Cost estimation for the most accepted flavour, was also done.

Preparation and characterization of gelatin-carboxymethylcellulose active film incorporated with pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel extract for the preservation of raspberry fruit

Active films composed of gelatin and carboxymethylcellulose incorporated with pomegranate peel extract (PPE) were elaborated and characterized. PPE compound identification studies were carried out, and the physicochemical properties of the films and their ability to preserve raspberries under refrigerated conditions (2 °C) were determined. Among the major phytocomponents analyzed by LC-QTOF MS, α and β-punicalagin were identified along with 15 other components. Significant increases in mechanical properties (3.22–8.96 N) and antioxidant activity (18.19–91.15%) were observed when adding PPE (p < 0.05). Increasing the PPE concentration was also shown to reduce UV-light transmission through the films, and color changes occurred at different pH values due to the polyphenol content. The FTIR spectra indicated the transformation of α-helix to β-sheet structures by adding PPE to the films. SEM analysis indicated significant microstructural changes with the incorporation of PPE. The preservation results showed that extending raspberries' shelf life to 15 days was possible. These results revealed the potential of gelatin-carboxymethylcellulose with PPE in manufacturing films with antioxidant, UV-light barrier, and pH-sensitive properties for preserving raspberries.

Best Combination of Vegetable By-Products for the Shelf-Life Extension of Fresh Pasta.

A combination of by-products was studied in fresh handmade pasta. Pomegranate peels and olive oil by-products were used in the range 0-6% (w/w) and properly combined in a total of nine combinations with an equal amount of broccoli by-products (10% w/w). The broccoli by-products were added to improve the sensory acceptance, which was compromised when the two above by-products were added to the dough. To verify the synergic effects, among these by-products, on tagliatelle shelf life, microbiological quality based on the main spoilage groups, sensory properties, appearance of visible molds, pH and moisture content were monitored in all the packaged samples stored at 4 °C. In addition to fortified pasta samples, control tagliatelle was also investigated. A mathematical approach was used to fit experimental data and calculate pasta shelf life. In addition, a mathematical model was also proposed to describe the dependence of the shelf life from each by-product percentage added to the formulation. Results showed that while the control fresh pasta lasted about 3 days for the undesired proliferation of yeasts and coliforms, all fortified samples maintained acceptable quality for at least one week. Depending on the by-product combination, shelf-life values could reach more than 13 days. The best combination of by-products calculated based on the mathematical model, that reached the highest shelf life (13.30 days), corresponded to 10% broccoli by-products combined with 6% olive oil by-products and 6% pomegranate peels.

In-Silico Analysis of Polyphenol Compounds in Pomegranate Fruit (Punica granatum L.) Peel Potential as type 2 Antidiabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by increased blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance caused by the uncontrolled expression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Several compounds that inhibit PTP1B have been studied, including polyphenol. Many studies have been conducted on diabetes medicines based on natural ingredients, including the pomegranate fruits (Punica granatum L). This study aims to test the inhibitory activity of polyphenolic compounds in pomegranate peel (gallic acid, caffeic acid, ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid, apigenin, quercetin, pelargonidin, and cyanidin) against PTP1B through molecular docking. The 3D structures of polyphenolic compounds were obtained from the PubChem database, while PTP1B was from the Protein Data Base. Molecular docking simulations were carried out using AutoDock Vina and several supporting softwares, such as Biovia Discovery Studio Client 4.1, AutoDockTools 1.5.6, PyMOL, and LigPlot. Molecular docking results showed that polyphenolic compounds from pomegranate peel have good inhibitory potential against PTP1B. It is proven by the binding affinity value for PTP1B, which is low and negative, namely in the range -6.4 to -8.4 kcal/mol, and the inhibition constant in the range 0.69 to 20,12 µM. The presence of phenol and carboxylic acid groups in polyphenol compounds can strengthen ligand-protein complexes through hydrogen bonds, especially with the amino acid residues Gln221 and Cys215. The potential of polyphenolic compounds as antidiabetics is also supported by van der Waals interactions and π-π stacking interactions with PTP1B. Based on the molecular docking test that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the polyphenolic compounds in pomegranate peel have the potential to act as type 2 anti-diabetes mellitus.

Therapeutic Potential of Punica granatum and Isolated Compounds: Evidence-Based Advances to Treat Bacterial Infections.

Punica granatum Linn has been known for its nutritional and medicinal value since ancient times and is used in the treatment of various pathologies owing to its antibacterial properties. This review reports the results of the most recent studies on the antibacterial effects of P. granatum and its isolated compounds on bacteria of clinical interest. A search in the PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) databases was performed, which included articles that evaluated the antibacterial activity of P. granatum extracts and excluded articles that analyzed other microorganisms or nonpathogenic bacteria, as well as theses, dissertations, duplicate articles, and those not fully available. The literature suggests that P. granatum extracts can act on bacteria, such as methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus mutans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. In addition, fruit peel was the most commonly used pharmacogen and methanol, ethanol, and water were the most common solvents for the extraction of bioactive compounds. The antibacterial potential of the methanolic extract of pomegranate peel could be attributed to the presence of active compounds, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, punicic acid, gallic acid, and punicalagin. Thus, there is evidence that these plant extracts, having high polyphenol content, can disrupt the bacterial plasma membrane and inhibit the action of proteins related to antimicrobial resistance. P. granatum shows antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with great potential against multidrug-resistant strains. Further research is needed to clarify the mechanism of action related to this biological activity and investigate the isolated substances that may be responsible for the antibacterial effects.

Ameliorative Effect of Pomegranate Peel Powder on the Growth Indices, Oocysts Shedding, and Intestinal Health of Broilers under an Experimentally Induced Coccidiosis Condition.

Coccidiosis stands as one of the most prevalent enteric parasitic diseases in broilers. While antibiotics have traditionally been used for the control of coccidiosis, concerns related to drug residues and the emergence of resistance in chickens have prompted consumer apprehensions. In this study, 600 Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly divided into five groups: a control group without specific treatments (NC), broilers deliberately exposed to Eimeria tenella (positive control), broilers challenged with E. tenella but dosed with antibiotics (AT), and two groups experimentally exposed to E. tenella while simultaneously receiving pomegranate peel powder (PPE) at dosages of 3 g/kg (3PPP) and 6 g/kg (6PPP). The results revealed that all Eimeria-treated birds exhibited significantly worse growth performance compared to the NC. Notably, a marked improvement was observed in birds infected with E. tenella when supplemented with 6PPP. Both 3PPP and 6PPP supplementation significantly reduced lesion scores, mortality, and oocysts per gram (OPG). Furthermore, histological examination of the cecum indicated that the villus dimensions were restored by PPP supplementation in infected birds. In conclusion, Eimeria-infected birds supplemented with 6PPP experienced an enhanced growth rate, lowered lesion scores, alleviated oocyst shedding, and improved intestinal histological dimensions.
