Abstract: (112 Views)
The results showed that the Ferric reducing activity of plasma (RRAP) and free radical scavenging activity (DPPH) in extracts obtained with 70% methanol were higher than those with other solvents. Also, in water and methanol solvents, with increasing extraction time, the amount of polyphenol compounds and FRAP were the highest and the lowest, respectively, but the increase of DPPH was the highest in ethanol solvent and the lowest in methanol solvent. The results of the investigation of the antifungal effects of the methanol extract of pomegranate peel (MEPP) showed that this extract with a concentration of 0.3% had an antifungal effect nearly equivalent to that of potassium sorbate at a concentration of 0.1%, so that the mean diameter on the diameter of Aspergillus niger growth inhibition zone was 17.7 mm for pomegranate peel extract and 18.3 mm for potassium sorbate. Therefore, pomegranate peel extract can be used in food products as antioxidant compounds and preservatives as a natural and effective alternative to chemical preservatives like potassium sorbate.
