Punica granatum Seeds Extract

Description :

The pomegranate, also known as Anar, Dadim, or Dalimb in India, is a deciduous shrub that bears fruit and belongs to the subfamily Punicoideae of the family Lythraceae. Its height ranges from 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet). Pomegranates have been grown in the Mediterranean region since ancient times and are now sold in marketplaces throughout the Western Hemisphere and Europe. They are native to the area that stretches from Iran to northern India. Most notably in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, pomegranate seeds are used as a spice known as anar dana (from Persian: anar + dana, pomegranate + seed). Whole dried seeds are frequently available at ethnic Indian marketplaces. These seeds are taken out of the meat, allowed to dry for ten to fifteen days, and then utilized as an acidic component in chutney.

Dried seeds can be added to salads, yogurt, ice cream, granola bars, trail mix, and other dishes in a variety of ways. The existence of tannins, polyphenols, and essential oils (including punicic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid) has been demonstrated by scientific research on dalimb or pomegranate seed extract. The bioactive components found in pomegranate seeds, such as tannins, anthocyanins, alkaloids, phenolic acids, estrogenic flavonoids, and conjugated fatty acids, may be responsible for the extract's beneficial antioxidant activity (free radical scavenging). Pomegranate seed extract supports good digestion, intestinal function, and micronutrient absorption.
