Role Of Pomegranate Phenolic Antioxidants In Disease Management

Abstract

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), a member of the Lythraceae family and a fruit often regarded as a superfood, with a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Its study interest is heightened by the presence of a range of bioactive substances, including ellagic acid, punicalagins, quercetin, rutin, tannic acids, anthocyanins, pedunculagins,catechins, and polyphenols. Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, cytoprotective, neuroprotective, anti-angiogenic, anticancerous, anti-diabetic, anti-mutagenic, cardiovascular protective, antibacterial, hepatoprotective anti-ulcerogenic and antifungal potentials are all present in these pomegranate constituents. Natural polyphenol compounds (PCs) from plants have recently attracted the attention of many academics, businesses, and the general public due to their special benefits as pharmaceuticals and preservatives for the physiological system. They can fend against fatal and debilitating conditions including cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Polyphenols are vital components and play a key part in Punica granatum's anti-oxidant capability. The current chapter focuses on Punica granatum's polyphenolic components and their supporting role in the treatment of various illnesses.
