石榴,一种原产于中东的水果,已经作为一种功能食品和营养保健源在全球范围内获得了广泛的流行。整果以及其果汁和提取物的健康效果已经针对多种慢性疾病进行了研究。来自人类临床试验的数据显示,石榴对心血管疾病、糖尿病和前列腺癌具有积极效果。石榴的体外抗氧化活性归功于其高含量的多酚类化合物,特别是石榴酸、石榴素、没食子酸和鞣花酸。这些化合物在消化过程中被代谢为鞣花酸和尿石素,这表明提供体内抗氧化活性的生物活性化合物可能与完整食物中存在的化合物不同……
Pomegranate, a fruit native to the Middle East, has gained widespread popularity as a functional food and nutraceutical source. The health effects of the whole fruit, as well as its juices and extracts, have been studied in relation to a variety of chronic diseases. Promising results against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer have been reported from human clinical trials. The in vitro antioxidant activity of pomegranate has been attributed to its high polyphenolic content, specifically punicalagins, punicalins, gallagic acid, and ellagic acid. These compounds are metabolized during digestion to ellagic acid and urolithins, suggesting that the bioactive compounds that provide in vivo antioxidant activity may not be the same as those present in the whole food...
