20.500.12556/RUL-142722 Extraction of polyphenols and valorization of fibers from Istrian-grown pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) Pomegranate fruit is an ancient fruit that is used not only because of its deep-red color and tasty arils but also due to the health benefits of its extracts. Pomegranate is a valuable source of bioactive compounds, including colorful anthocyanins and other polyphenols. The main objective of the present study was to gain comprehensive knowledge of the phenolic composition and antioxidative activity of a new pomegranate cultivar, grown in Northwest Istria, a part of the North Adriatic coastal area. Various parts of the pomegranate fruit parts were extracted in 70% ethanol or water. Total phenolic content and antioxidative capacity were respectively determined with Folin–Ciocalteu reagent and ABTS radical. Phenolics were examined and analyzed with TLC, LC-MS, and HPLC. Pomegranate juice was prepared from red arils and after thermal treatment, the stability of anthocyanins was monitored for several months to understand the effect of storage. The highest total phenolics were determined in ethanol pomegranate peel extracts (30.5 ± 0.6 mg GAE/g DM), and water peel extracts exhibited the highest antioxidative activity (128 ± 2 µg TE/g DM). After five months of storage of thermally treated pomegranate juice, 50–60 percentage points increase in anthocyanin degradation was observed. Pomegranate peel was further tested as a sustainable inedible food source for papermaking. Due to the low content of cellulose and the high percentage of extractives, as well as a distinguished texture and appearance, the paper made from pomegranate peel is best suited for the production of specialty papers, making it particularly interesting for bioactives recovery, followed by material restructuring. pomegranate pomegranate fruit pomegranate juice processing residues bioactive compounds antioxidants phenolics flavonoids anthocyanins fibrous compounds lignocellulose papermaking granatno jabolko bioaktivne spojine antioksidanti fenolne spojine proizvodnja papirja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-11-22 12:46:26 2022-11-22 12:46:32 2024-02-15 11:31:56 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 19 str. iss. 18, art. 2740 Vol. 11 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 634.64:547.56:676 2304-8158 10.3390/foods11182740 123836931 skrt.pdf skrt.pdf 1 375B8216F38FD1713C8EDA80075B6E03 8fef082756b5a6156a85f060dd2f980b1ba2a4f0b59137702017b7cbd97a3786 a4e3ddb2-6a5c-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=164191 https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/11/18/2740 1 2f68f247-6a5b-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=164190 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
