“…Pomegranate juice is a rich source of antioxidants, which determines the beneficial effect of its consumption on human health [28]. These substances are exogenous and must be supplied from the food because the human body cannot produce them.…”

“…Therefore, regular consumption of this juice helps to reduce the risk of many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's), related to the impact of free radicals. Moreover, it also slows down the ageing process, supports digestion, and improves the appearance of the skin [28].…”

It is estimated that the transport of plant-based food may be responsible for 50% of total CO2 emissions. The situation becomes highly unfavourable when the transported cargo deteriorates. Therefore, the optimisation of storage conditions during transport is a part of the concept of reducing food loss and waste. Moreover, it is an essential element of sustainable development. This study aimed to compare the stability of selected quality parameters of pomegranate juice under simulated conditions imitating maritime transport. The content of polyphenols and the ability to reduce free radicals were considered the critical quality parameters of this juice. The Folin–Ciocalteu method (polyphenols content) and the Brand-Williams method (ability to reduce free radicals) were used during the study. The simulation of maritime transport conditions consisted of different juice storage conditions. The differentiation was conducted regarding temperature, type of gas that filled the packaging, and mixing related to the ship’s motions during transport. The highest quality of pomegranate juice was ensured by modifying the atmosphere with nitrogen and lowering the temperature. It is also important that mixing the juice does not reduce its quality but stabilises it.

“…216 Several studies have been reported relating to the anti-inflammatory properties due to the presence of gallotannins and ellagitannins (punicalagin and granatins), flavonoids (quercetin, catechin), and ellagic acid found in pomegranate seed oil. 217 Pomegranate has been known for its antimicrobial properties since ancient times. This plant is used against both Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria, even against more resistant strains.…”

Polyphenols are natural secondary metabolites found in plants endowed with multiple biological activities (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, cardioprotective, and anticancer). In view of these properties, they find many applications and are used as active ingredients in nutraceutical, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations. In accordance with green chemistry and circular economy strategies, they can also be recovered from agroindustrial waste and reused in various sectors, promoting sustainable processes. This review described structural characteristics, methods for extraction, biological properties, and applications of polyphenolic extracts obtained from two selected plant materials of the Mediterranean area as olive (Olea europaea L.) and pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) based on recent literature, highlighting future research perspectives.
