o:6318 INSIGHTS INTO WILD POMEGRANATE PEEL ENCAPSULATES: PHENOLIC COMPOSITION, ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL en Pomegranate peel (P) proved a broad range of biological activities and health-promoting effects. Considering the great therapeutic potential of a P extract, this study aims to establish an encapsulation process, using biocompatible carriers to obtain preserved encapsulates with highly potent bioactive components. Microencapsulation method was performed by freeze drying technique. The content of total phenols, flavonoids, flavonols, flavan-3-ols and total and monomeric anthocyanins were determined spectrophotometrically in pure freeze-dried extract PPE (FPE), and its encapsulates, with whey protein (FPE+WP), maltodextrin (FPE+MD) and polydextrose (FPE+PD). Among encapsulates, the FPE+WP showed the highest content of all investigated components, except FPE+PD which demonstrated the highest flavonoids content. FPE+WP showed the highest antioxidant activity by DPPH (IC50=13.81μg/ml), while FPE+MD by ABTS (IC50=3.15 μg/ml) and OH (IC50=18.88 μg/ml) tests. Samples exhibited high antimicrobial potential. All obtained wild pomegranate peel encapsulates proved good multifunctional properties with potential as food and pharmaceuticals. 1552099 10.60738/03ak-mn82 2024-12-04T08:05:34.631Z 44 no 46 Jelena Vulić University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technology 46 Mirjana Milošević University of Banja Luka, Faculty of Technology, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina 46 Nada Ćujić Nikolić Institute for Medicinal Plants Research "Dr Josif Pančić", Belgrade 0000-0002-6736-3637 46 Biljana Lazić University of Banja Luka, Faculty of Technology, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina 46 Jasna Canadanovic-Brunet University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technology 46 Anja Saveljić University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technology 46 Katarina Šavikin Institute for Medicinal Plant Research, ''Dr. Josif Pančić'' Belgrade 0000-0002-2086-9593 application/pdf 774688 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6318 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A10 Abstracts Book 136 136 17th World Congress on Polyphenols Aplications 2024
