Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The highest PPO reduction after blanching was in Herskawitz pomegranate peel extracts, at 0.25 U/mL.
- Observation Blanched Herskawitz peel extracts had higher DPPH antioxidant activity, 567.78 ± 9.47 µmol Trolox/g DM.
- Observation Blanched Herskawitz peel extracts had higher FRAP antioxidant power, 800.05 ± 1.60 µmol Trolox/g DM.
- Observation Blanched Herskawitz peel extracts had higher ABTS radical scavenging activity, 915.27 ± 0.61 µmol Trolox/g DM.
- Observation Blanched Herskawitz peel extracts had the lowest MIC, 80 µg/mL, against Bacillus subtilis.
- Observation Blanched Herskawitz peel extracts had the lowest MIC, 80 µg/mL, against Klebsiella pneumoniae.
- Observation A total of 30 metabolites were present in Acco and Herskawitz peel extracts and tentatively identified by LC-MS profiling.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that blanched Herskawitz peel extracts have great potential for commercial use in value-added products.
