The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the best known plants biomarkers from the locality of Gafsa (Tunisia). Majority of investigated plants had high levels of phenolics and exhibited noteworthy antioxidant activity. The plants showing the highest antioxidant activities were P. angustifolia, T. garganica, G. alypum and L. multifida. P. angustifolia demonstrated by far the most potent antioxidant activity, as well as total phenolic and total flavonoids content. In flavonoid structure of the aerial parts of the related species, different amounts of rutin, myricetin, morin, quercetin and kaempferol together with ergosterol, stigma sterol and b-sitosterol as phytosterols, vitamin D, vitamin K, a-tocopherol and retinol as vitamins, and arabinose, fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose as sugars were found. The mineral analysis was related to the existence of Ca, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Mg with different amounts in all of the nine tested species.

“…A plethora of evidence indicates that the pomegranate extracts including (seed, peel, juice and whole fruit) are a convenience source for chemopreventive and/or cancer therapeutic effects, demonstrated in several cancer cell lines and animal models [32]. In particular, since the peel fraction of pomegranate is a valuable reservoir of the majority of phenolic compounds, it has been frequently utilized as a natural antioxidant in various dietary supplements [33]. Our results indicated that the hexane extract of pomegranate peel exhibited significant anticancer effects against all tested cancer cell lines, with more selectivity towards human colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT-116 and breast cancer cell line MCF-7 with IC 50 value of 29.31 ± 1.32 and 52.71 ± 2.11 µg/mL, respectively.…”

Several epidemiological studies have suggested that the Mediterranean dietary pattern, which includes consumption of fruits, has been linked to lower risk of various forms of cancer. This study assessed the antiangiogenic, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties of extracts from common Mediterranean fruits including, dates (Phoenix dactylifera), figs (Ficus carica), grapes (Vitis vinifera), olives (Olea europaea), and pomegranates (Punica granatum).Different parts of the fruits were extracted with two organic solvents as well as water. Twenty-one extracts were screened for antiangiogenic activity using the rat aorta ring assay. They were tested for cytotoxic activity using four cancer cell lines and one normal cell line, and their antioxidant properties were measured using two methods (2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays). GC-MS analysis indicated the presence of different phytochemical classes in fruits, phenolic acids, sterols, flavonoids, fatty acids, triglycerides, and alkaloids are the main constituents in these fruits. Of the 21 extracts tested, 14 exhibited substantial antiangiogenic effect.The ethanol extracts of pomegranate and olive had the highest activity (100% inhibition at 50 µg/mL), as did the hexane extract of the grape. Likewise, the hexane extract of pomegranate peel and grape seed had the highest cytotoxic effects and was found to induce apoptosis in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116. Furthermore, the extracts prepared from ethanol had the highest antioxidant activity among the tested fruits, pomegranate peel displayed potent antioxidant activity, with the lowest IC 50 value calculated (6.06 µg/mL). The study demonstrated considerable anticancer and antioxidant properties in Mediterranean fruit extracts.

“…2014). Pomegranate peel is a nutrient rich byproduct and possesses apparent wound healing properties, immune modulatory activity, antibacterial activity, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-oxidative capacities (Ibrahium, 2010;Akhtar et al, 2015). Intelligent utilization of pomegranate peel powder and peel extracts has been successfully experienced in various food preparations including edible oils, bakery products, jellies and meat and meat products and yoghurt (Naveena et al, 2008;Kanatt et al, 2010;Devatkal et al, 2012;Altunkaya et al, 2013;El-Batawy, 2014).…”
