punica/carbohydrate

BACKGROUND Rind of Punica granatum is traditionally used in treatment of abdominal cramps and various GIT disorders. So far spasmolytic activity of rind of Punica granatum has been reported using in vitro model. However, its mode of action is not explored yet. Therefore, the current work describes

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported the antioxidant activity and potential therapeutic properties of Punica granatum L. (Lythraceae) fruit. Medicinal properties have also been attributed to other parts of P. granatum tree, which are rich in bioactive phytochemicals. OBJECTIVE To explore the

Dental caries is caused by acids produced by biofilm-forming Streptococcus mutans from fermentable carbohydrates and bacterial byproducts. Control of these bacteria is important in the prevention of dental caries. This study investigated the effect of the fruit peel of Punica granatum on biofilm

The polysaccharide PGW was isolated from peels and membranes of fruits of pomegranate P. granatum by hot water extraction. The methods of ion exchange chromatography, partial acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and NMR spectroscopy were employed to establish the major elements of its structure. It
