Product description：
Pomegranate Peel Extract is derived from carefully selected ripe pomegranate peels (Punica granatum L.). The pomegranates are sourced from regions known for their high - quality fruit production, where they are grown under optimal environmental conditions to ensure maximum nutrient content.
- Tannins: Pomegranate Peel Extract is rich in tannins, which are one of the main active components. Tannins have strong antioxidant and anti - inflammatory properties. They can bind to proteins and other macromolecules, playing an important role in various biological activities.
- Polyphenols: The extract contains a variety of polyphenol compounds, such as ellagitannins and flavonoids. Ellagitannins can be hydrolyzed to ellagic acid in the body, which has been shown to have significant antioxidant, anti - cancer, and anti - aging effects. Flavonoids also contribute to the overall antioxidant capacity of the extract and may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health.
- Organic Acids: Organic acids like gallic acid and citric acid are present in the extract. These acids not only contribute to the characteristic taste of the extract but also have certain physiological functions, such as promoting digestion and enhancing the stability of other active ingredients.

Application：
- Natural Preservative: Due to its antimicrobial properties, Pomegranate Peel Extract can be used as a natural preservative in food products. It can extend the shelf life of foods, such as meat products, dairy products, and baked goods, by inhibiting the growth of spoilage microorganisms.
- Flavor and Color Enhancer: The extract can add a unique flavor and color to food products. Its slightly astringent and tangy taste can enhance the overall flavor profile of foods, and the brownish - yellow color can be used to provide a natural colorant, especially in products where artificial colorants are not desired.
- Nutritional Fortifier: With its rich antioxidant content, Pomegranate Peel Extract can be added to foods as a nutritional fortifier. It can increase the antioxidant capacity of foods, providing consumers with additional health benefits.
Function
- Antioxidant Activity: The high content of tannins and polyphenols endows Pomegranate Peel Extract with strong antioxidant properties. It can effectively scavenge free radicals in the body, such as superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, reducing oxidative stress and preventing cellular damage. This antioxidant effect helps to protect against various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
- Anti - inflammatory Effect: The active ingredients in the extract can inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, thereby reducing inflammation in the body. It may be beneficial for conditions associated with inflammation, such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and skin inflammation.
- Antimicrobial Activity: Pomegranate Peel Extract has been found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It can inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, helping to maintain the balance of the body's microflora and prevent infections.
