Beneficial effects of pomegranate peel extract on plasma lipid profile, fatty acids levels and blood pressure in patients with diabetes mellitus type-2: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

Tangerine, banana and pomegranate peels valorisation for sustainable environment: A review

“…3 ) [ 244 , 263 , 264 ], anti-healing properties [ 265 ], anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, anti-mutagenic and hepatoprotective properties [ [266] , [267] , [268] ]. PPW extract has beneficial effects on plasma lipid profile, fatty acid levels and blood pressure for patients with type-2 diabetes [ 36 ]. PPW enriched films have shown greater antioxidant activity and antibacterial capacity than the control film based on bean protein [ 269 ].…”

“…TPW, PPW and BPW may be used directly or after treatments as animal feed [ 15 , 16 ], soil amendment [ [17] , [18] , [19] ], bio-adsorbents [ 20 , 21 ], and the production of the outputs was obtained by the biorefinery process (biogas, bioethanol and biohydrogen) [ [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] ]. Numerous other studies have focused on the valorisation of TPW, PPW and BPW for the production of value-added products (essential oil, enzymes, food, medical and cosmetic products) [ [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] ].…”

Food Applications and Potential Health Benefits of Pomegranate and its Derivatives

“…A 30 day supplementation with pomegranate extracts in individuals with overweight and obesity beneficially affected body weight, serum glucose, insulin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol) and LDL-C to HDL-C proportion, while also acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, lowering inflammatory and lipid peroxidation biomarkers [91]. An eight week supplementation with pomegranate peel extracts attenuated the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes and also presented hypolipemic, hypoglycemic, and antioxidative potential [92]. Finally, clinical studies with pomegranate seed oil in type 2 diabetic patients have resulted in reductions in the levels of fasting blood sugar, interleukin-6 and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α); however, no significant changes have been observed in insulin and lipid profiles [93,94].…”

Computational study of pomegranate peel extract polyphenols as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 virus internalization

“…One of those is pomegranate ( Punica granatum L. , Punicaceae family) which is a well-known fruit consumed worldwide. Pomegranate has been traditionally used in the folk medicine due to its beneficial health properties and treatment of different chronic diseases like diabetes type 2 [ 16 , 17 ], atherosclerosis [ 18 , 19 ], cardiovascular diseases [ 20 ], inflammatory diseases [ 21 ] or cancer [ 22 ]. Pomegranate peel extracts are particularly rich with phytobiotics such as hydrolysable tannins (ellagitannin, punicalagin, punicalin, gallic and ellagic acid), flavonoids, anthocyanins and other phenols.…”

“…Pomegranate peel extracts are particularly rich with phytobiotics such as hydrolysable tannins (ellagitannin, punicalagin, punicalin, gallic and ellagic acid), flavonoids, anthocyanins and other phenols. These polyphenols possess a wide range of biologic properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive or antimicrobial effects [ 17 , 23 , 24 ].…”
