“…diversas propriedades medicinais são atribuídas a esta planta em diferentes partes da mesma, sendo que, por meio da análise fitoquímica, encontrou-se a presença de alcaloides e taninos gálicos na casca do caule e dos frutos, e nas folhas e sementes detectou-se a presença de ácidos graxos, principalmente o ácido púnico (SoUSa et al,1991). devido às diversas propriedades funcionais e nutracêuticas, o fruto tem ganhado grande destaque mundial (SUMneR et al, 2005).…”

resumo -a romãzeira (Punica granatum l.) é fruteira de porte arbustivo, utilizada geralmente como planta ornamental e explorada quanto a suas características medicinais. Seus frutos apresentam cavidades internas onde estão alojadas numerosas sementes e sem a presença de endosperma. estas sementes apresentam certa dificuldade para germinar, sendo que se conseguiu atingir porcentagens satisfatórias de germinação com a utilização de estratificação, que é processo necessário para a quebra da dormência fisiológica, já que altera o balanço hormonal, sobretudo os níveis de giberelina. o trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a aplicação de concentrações de Ga 3 na germinação de sementes de Punica granatum em ambiente controlado com temperatura de 25ºc e fotoperíodo de 12 horas de luz, sobre papel germitest. adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualisado, com cinco tratamentos [concentrações de Ga 3 (0; 100; 200; 300 e 400 mgl -1 )], quatro repetições de 25 sementes cada. determinou-se durante a embebição a curva de aquisição de água das mesmas. as variáveis avaliadas foram porcentagem de germinação, tempo médio de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, índice de sincronização e frequência de germinação, comprimento médio total (parte aérea + parte radicular), massa da matéria fresca e seca das plântulas. a única variável que mostrou efeito das concentrações de Ga 3 foi o índice de velocidade de emergência. o tempo de embebição necessário para atingir máximo teor de água nas sementes de romãzeira (P.granatum) em água deionizada foi de quatro horas, sendo a embebição neste líquido o método eficaz para o processo germinativo, sem a necessidade de uso de giberelina. termos para indexação: Romã, regulador vegetal, giberelina. GermInatIon oF pomeGranate (Punica granatum l.)seeds under GIBerellIn concentratIons aBstract -The pomegranate (Punica granatum l.) fruit tree is shrubby, often used as an ornamental plant and operated as its medicinal characteristics. its fruits have internal cavities that host numerous seeds and without the presence of endosperm. These seeds are germinating some difficulty, and it was possible to achieve satisfactory percentages of germination using laminating process that is required for breaking of physiological dormancy, as alters hormone balance, particularly gibberellin levels. The study aimed to evaluate the application of Ga 3 concentrations on germination of seeds of Punica granatum in controlled temperature of 25ºc and a photoperiod of 12 hours of light on paper germitest environment. We adopted the completely randomized design, with five treatments [GA 3 concentrations (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg l -1 )], four replicates of 25 seeds each. it was determined during the acquisition curve imbibition of water from the same. The variables evaluated were germination percentage, mean germination time, germination velocity index, index of synchronization and frequency of germination, total length (shoot + root), fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings. The only variable that showed the eff...

“…Researchers found that daily consumption of pomegranate juice may improve stressinduced myocardial ischemia in patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD) and the pomegranate juice not only prevented hardening of the arteries by reducing blood vessel damage, but also reversed the progression of CHD (Sumner et al, 2005). Hartman et al (2006) reported that pomegranate juice had beneficial effect on animal model of Alzheimer's disease since polyphenols are responsible for neural protection.…”

“…Epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption of red fruit juices, such as pomegranate, berry and grape, correlates with reduced risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancers and aging, (Hertog et al 1997;Sumner et al 2005). It has been reported that pomegranate juice is an important source of anthocyanins (cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin), which gives the fruit and aril its red color, and phenolics and tannins (punicalin, pedunculagin, punicalagin, ellagic acid), (Kulkarni and Aradhya 2005).…”

Effect of carrier type and spray drying on the physicochemical properties of powdered and reconstituted pomegranate juice (Punica Granatum L.)

Pomegranate juice was diluted to 12°Brix and carriers (maltodextrin, gum Arabic, waxy starch) were added with varying concentrations of cellulose before being reduced to powder by spray drying. All carrier concentrations improved dryer yield, with gum Arabic being the most effective. The bulk density of the powder decreased when higher carrier concentrations were used. As cellulose concentration increased in solution, the solubility of the final product decreased. The optical properties of the powder were affected by the type and concentration of the carrier; powders produced with gum Arabic showed the greatest color change. Adding a carrier increased the Tg of the powder and its storage stability. Variation in the anthocyanin may be related to the type of carrier agent and its behavior during spray drying.
