Seasonal changes of mineral nutrients and phenolics in pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit

Exploitation of Plant Growth Substances for Improving the Yield and Quality of Pomegranate under Ultra High Density Planting

“…The composition of mineral nutrients and chemical properties of fruit differs depending on cultivar, growing region, climate, maturity, and cultural practice (Mirdehghan and Rahemi, 2007). Minerals and plant growth hormones affect production and fruit quality either directly or indirectly.…”

Effect of Different Treatments on Quality of Nutri-Enriched Cookies Fortified with Pomegranate Peel Powder and Defatted Soybean Flour

“…Bhagwa variety among all the varieties grown in India is easily available on commercial scale. Fruits and vegetable processing in India generates substantial quantities of waste and these wastes of fruits are an abundant source of antioxidant and polyphenols among those pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel, a byproduct of juice processing industries was reported to contain a series of bioactive compounds (tannins, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds), minerals and fibres for a wide range of dietary requirements (Mirdehghan and Rahemi, 2007). The soybean (Glycine max) a grain legume, is one of the richest and cheapest sources of plant protein that can be used to improve the diet of millions of people, especially the poor and low income earners in developing countries because it produces the greatest amount of protein used as food by man (Liu, 2000).…”

Composition of Ethyl Acetate Extracts from Three Plant Materials (Shaddock Peel, Pomegranate Peel, Pomegranate Seed) and Their Algicidal Activities

“…The inhibitory effects of the ethyl acetate extracts were also explored by M. aeruginosa bioassay. This showed that the inhibition percentages of ethyl acetate extracts of the three plant materials on the growth of M. aeruginosa were 43.9%, 47.5%, and 40.3%, respectively, when the algae were treated at a dosage of 20 mg/L extracts.Keywords: allelopathic effect, shaddock peel, pomegranate peel, pomegranate seed, Microcystis aeruginosa *e-mail: zhanglieyu@163.com **e-mail: shpcheng@foxmail.com DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/36986 as a byproduct of pomegranate processing are about 26-30%, 20% (w/w) of the whole fruit weight, respectively [18,19], and are a good source of secondary products such as tannins, organic acid, polyphenol, and alkaloids [20][21][22]. Shaddock, like other citrus fruits, has a small edible portion and large amounts of waste materials such as peels and seeds, and peels contain considerable phenolic compounds [23].…”
