Product Information

For the latter, our results indicate that, besides the higher resistance of hydrolyzable tannins to the concentration made up at high temperatures, many other substances, such as anthocyanins and several volatile classes such as terpenes, alcohols, and aldehydes, are strongly reduced by these treatments, and are also responsible for the negative Maillard reaction. Thus, the possibility of introducing mild techniques involving cold concentrations such as micro- or ultrafiltration and cryoconcentration, might be an interesting strategy for improving the quality of the concentrated juice. To confirm this last hypothesis, analyses should be done on concentrated juices by cold concentration methods. According to our results, the most important factor that determines differences in health and sensory properties is the technological process of the concentration. Patients with hot temperament showed higher response to treatment in comparison to cold temperament. Subash, S., et al. (2014). Pomegranate from Oman alleviates the brain oxidative damage in transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Some researchers have used the flowers and extract of pomegranate to heal wounds, noting a significant decrease in the size of wounds treated in this way.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Juice concentrate contains beneficial plant compounds, such as carotenoids, anthocyanins, and flavonoids. These are associated with many health benefits, including improved heart health and decreased inflammation ( 2, 9, 10). PJ was filtered with cellulose acetate (CA) 0.45 μm syringe filters (Whatman, Clifton, NJ, USA) and injected into HPLC. The chromatographic separation of the phenols was carried out in the reverse phase using a Superpher 100 RP-18 column, 4 mm i.d × 250 mm with an internal particle diameter of 5 µm (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The injected volume was 20 µL, and the eluent flow was 1.0 mL/min using a mixture of water/phosphoric acid (99.5:0.5 v/ v) (solvent A) and methanol/acetonitrile (1:1 v/ v) (solvent B). The gradient was varied as follows: 95% solvent A and 5% solvent B, 70% solvent A and 30% solvent B, for 25 min, 62% solvent A and 38% solvent B for 10 min, 55% solvent A and 45% solvent B for 10 min, 48% solvent A and 52% solvent B for 5 min, 0% solvent A and 100% solvent B for 5 min, and return to initial conditions for 5 min. The total chromatographic run time was 60 min. For the determination of phenols, the diode array detector (DAD) was set to the wavelengths of 280 nm and 360 nm. The quantitative evaluation was carried out using the response factor calculated for the ellagic acid.One pomegranate contains around 39 grams of sugar. If a person with diabetes wishes to consume pomegranate juice, they should do so while keeping their glucose levels within limits agreed with a doctor. 15. Wound healing In the Middle East, people traditionally consider pomegranate a medicinal plant and treatment for diabetes, and some evidence supports this. From the relative loading plot of the first two components ( Figure 4b), high positive correlations were observed between the chemical parameters 2-methyl-1-propanol, sum of terpenes, sum of alcohols, ethanol, 1-hexanol, 1-pentanol, α-terpineol, delphinidin-3,5-diglucoside, sum of anthocyanins, delphinidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside, menthone and the sensory attributes ‘beet’, ‘pomegranate fruit’, ‘purple–red colour’, ‘fresh fruit’, ‘overall intensity’, ‘homogeneity’, and ‘vegetable herbal’ characterized by the maximum values for the NCPJs, which represent the first PLS latent variable (the left side of the score plot, Figure 4b). To make juice concentrate, whole fruits are thoroughly washed, scrubbed, and crushed or blended to produce a pulp. Most of the water content is then extracted and evaporated ( 1).

The body produces ROS during metabolism and other processes. Exposure to toxins, such as tobacco smoke, can also increase ROS levels.

If you’re drinking pomegranate juice for its health properties, be sure to carefully review the ingredient list. Where possible, avoid any artificial flavors and colors. Refrain from products that have added sugars or other ingredients that may negate any health benefits. Some older research suggests that the antioxidant activity in pomegranate could benefit people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, there was evidence that compounds in pomegranate could help lower fasting blood glucose levels.

The antioxidants in pomegranate juice can help remove ROS and protect the body from damage. 2. Nutrient boost Akhavan, H.R.; Barzegar, M.
