Safety thresholds
pomegranates→ can be safely stored →for long periods
temperature: not over-chilled
“Fully ripe fruit can be safely stored for long periods if not over-chilled”
pomegranate peel powder (PP)→ increases →toxicity
concentration: 2.5% PP
“An increased death rate of the brine shrimp larvae was found as a function of the replacement of wheat flour with PP in fortified bread providing a general screening method for the toxicological test of polyphenol fortified bread to be recommended for use in product development in addition to subjective evaluation. Based on both toxicological and subjective evaluations an addition of 2.5% PP is recommended for the actual product.”
fruit juices→ have highest contamination in →sweet lemon, pineapple, pomegranate, apple, orange
contamination_percentages: 35,29,12,12,12
“The highest bacterial contamination was observed in sweet lemon (35%), pineapple (29%), and pomegranate, apple, orange (12% each).”
pomegranate peel (PP)→ may interfere with →the metabolism of other drugs
“Despite PP safety, it may interfere with the metabolism of other drugs because it inhibits cytochromes (CYP) changing their bioavailability, effectiveness, and toxicity”
What science says
compound effect
“No maltose, D-malic acid, or tartaric acid were detected in any of the samples.”
“POM pretreatment significantly reduced the alcohol-induced gut barrier dysfunction, plasma endotoxin and inflammatory liver disease by inhibiting the elevated oxidative and nitrative stress marker proteins.”
“Pomegranate (Punica granatum) bioactive compounds (polyphenols and anthocyanins) of juice (PJ) and ethanolic extracts (PE) were encapsulated with maltodextrin (MD) or soybean protein isolates (SPI) by spray drying using a 22 statistical factorial design for each systems studied (PJ–MD, PJ–SPI, PE–MD and PE–SPI) considering the proportion of coating material and the inlet temperature as independent variables.”
spray drying→was used to encapsulate→polyphenols and anthocyanins from pomegranate juice and ethanolic extracts
“oral administration of a human acceptable dose of PFE to athymic nude mice implanted with CWR22Rnu1 cells resulted in significant inhibition of tumor growth with concomitant reduction in secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the serum.”
oral administration of pomegranate fruit extract (PFE)→inhibits→tumor growth
“Moreover, pomegranate juice reduced in vitro oxidative stress, apoptosis, and global cell death in term villous explants and primary trophoblast cultures exposed to hypoxia, the hypoxia mimetic cobalt chloride, and the kinase inhibitor staurosporine.”
