“…Furthermore, the peel extract has been successfully used in improving Capsicum shelf life against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides due to the polyphenol constituents such as punicalagin, catechin and rutin [ 37 ]. The notable antimicrobial effect of the LEP extract could be related to the high content of polyphenols—in particular, flavonoids and tannins [ 3 , 6 , 15 , 22 , 24 ].…”

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits are important sources of vitamins and minerals and widely used in the dietary supplement industry. An aqueous extract of its leathery exocarp (LEP) was obtained by a solid-phase micro-extraction method. The antifungal activity was examined against the phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea, and the antibacterial activity was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Xanthomonas campestris,Bacillus megaterium and Clavibacter michiganensis. The antimicrobial assays showed, in some cases, a promising antimicrobial effect compared to the synthetic drugs. The possible anti-acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant activities of the LEP extract were investigated by the Ellman’s assay and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test, respectively, and their results showed that the LEP extract has an effective anti-acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effect and an antioxidant activity. Thus, the LEP extract could be valid as a candidate for further studies on the use of pomegranate in neurodegenerative diseases as a food preservative and a suitable substitute to control several phytopathogens.

“…have been efficiently incorporated in alginate film for food packaging development [226][227][228][229]. For example, it can be mentioned recent works incorporating antioxidants and antimicrobial agents for food applications in alginate films and coating such as: trans-cinnamaldehyde [230]; carvacrol, methyl cinnamate [231]; pomegranate peel extract [232]; thyme oil [233]; acetic acid/lactic acid [234,235]; nisin/EDTA [236]; resveratrol [237]; tea polyphenols [238]; garlic oil [239]; ascorbic acid [240]; lycopene [241]; clove essential oil [242] and tocopherols [243]. In a similar approach, some other food ingredients have been incorporated such as antibrowning molecules.…”

The use of polysaccharide-based materials presents an eco-friendly technological solution, by reducing dependence on fossil resources while reducing a product's carbon footprint, when compared to conventional plastic packaging materials. This review discusses the potential of polysaccharides as a raw material to produce multifunctional materials for food packaging applications. The covered areas include the recent innovations and properties of the polysaccharide-based materials. Emphasis is given to hemicelluloses, marine polysaccharides, and bacterial exopolysaccharides and their potential application in the latest trends of food packaging materials, including edible coatings, intelligent films, and thermo-insulated aerogel packaging.

“…Currently, this pomegranate peel extract, which contains catechin and rutin (flavonoids) in addition to the major compound punicalagin, has been used to inhibit Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, a fungus that infects Persea americana (avocado tree). This antifungal activity was enhanced by adding an alginate and chitosan coating (58). This antifungal edible coating could be developed on other perishable fruits.…”

Synthetic food additives generate a negative perception in consumers. This fact generates an important pressure on food manufacturers, searching for safer natural alternatives. Phytochemicals (such as polyphenols and thiols) and plant essential oils (terpenoids) possess antimicrobial activities that are able to prevent food spoilage due to fungi (e.g., Aspergillus, Penicillium) and intoxications (due to mycotoxins), both of which are important economic and health problems worldwide. This review summarizes industrially interesting antifungal bioactivities from the three main types of plant nutraceuticals: terpenoids (as thymol), polyphenols (as resveratrol) and thiols (as allicin) as well as some of the mechanisms of action. These phytochemicals are widely distributed in fruits and vegetables and are very useful in food preservation as they inhibit growth of important spoilage and pathogenic fungi, affecting especially mycelial growth and germination. Terpenoids and essential oils are the most abundant group of secondary metabolites found in plant extracts, especially in common aromatic plants, but polyphenols are a more remarkable group of bioactive compounds as they show a broad array of bioactivities.
