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.”
“In addition, the levels of gut adherent junction (AJ) proteins (e.g., β-catenin and E-cadherin) and desmosome plakoglobin along with associated protein α-tubulin were clearly decreased in binge alcohol-exposed rats but restored to basal levels in POM-pretreated rats.”
“Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC90) was determined as 2.7 mg/mL of SFE pomegranate peel extract in the case of five different Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.”
“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.”
