Pomegranate Peel Powder

Botanical name: (Punica granatum)

Also Known As: Apple of many seeds, Malum Punicum

Pomegranate peel yields double the amount of antioxidants than the pulp, and has high potential as a health supplement. The fruit has commonly been linked to improved heart health, however varied claims have been made including protecting against prostate cancer and slowing cartilage loss in arthritis as well.

The peel offers higher yields of phenolics, flavonoids and proanythocyanidins than the pulp. Interestingly, the vitamin C content was similar for both the pulp and peel.

Pomegranate peel performed significantly better than the pulp in all of the tests of antioxidant activity — a results that is not so surprising given the relative concentrations of antioxidants in the extracts.

Oxidation of LDL has been proposed to play a key role in hardening of the arteries which is linked to heart disease — the cause of about 50 per cent of deaths in Europe, and 34.2 percent of Americans.

The study supports previous reports about the heart benefits of pomegranate and pomegranate juice.

Numerous pomegranate extracts are commercially available, some of which are made from whole fruits, including the peel. However, extracts using the peel only, normally a waste product in the juicing process, could offer an alternative source of antioxidants.
