Antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of pomegranate peel extract improves the shelf life of chicken products
Abstract
Summary: The antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of pomegranate peel and seed extract was investigated. Pomegranate peel extract (PE) showed excellent antioxidant activity while the seed extract (PS) did not have any significant activity. The IC 50 value of PE for 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging was 4.9 μg mL –1 while that of Butylated hydroxy toluene was 21.2 μg mL –1 , indicating that it was a stronger antioxidant. The efficacy of PE in scavenging hydroxyl and superoxide anion radical was also very high. It also had good reducing power and iron chelation capacity. PE showed good antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus having minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.01%. Pseudomonas could be inhibited at a higher concentration of 0.1% while it was ineffective against Escherichia coli and S. typhimurium . Addition of PE to popular chicken meat products enhanced its shelf life by 2–3 weeks during chilled storage. PE was also effective in controlling oxidative rancidity in these chicken products.

Pomegranate peel and seed extracts differ in antimicrobial activity.
“Kanatt, et al. [158] reported a disparity between the antimicrobial activities of pomegranate peel and seeds.”
From Valorization of Fruit Waste for Bioactive Compounds and Their Applications in the Food Industry (2023) · cites this paper as [158]
The difference between pomegranate peel and seed antimicrobial activities is attributed to variance in form and quantity of bioactive compounds in both tissues.
“This was attributed to the variance in the form and quantity of bioactive compounds present in both tissues.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
