Recent studies have found a high content of polyphenolic compounds in the fruit produced by pomegranate trees (peel, arils, seeds, and capillary membranes). Most polyphenols are generally accepted to be potent antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate peel is considered a waste product of the human diet. This value is equivalent to 50% of the weight of the fruit, which is why we propose a comparative analysis of both its antioxidant and microbicidal activity in two of the most cultivated varieties in Mexico, Wonderful (sour) and Valenciana (sweet), to provide added value to products of the region by obtaining products of high biological value via a process of easy industrial scaling.
最近的研究发现，石榴树所产果实（果皮、果肉、种子和毛细血管膜）中含有高含量的多酚类化合物。大多数多酚通常被认为是具有抗炎特性的强效抗氧化剂。石榴皮被视为人类饮食中的一种废弃物。其重量相当于果实重量的50%，这就是为什么我们提议对墨西哥种植最广泛的两个品种——“奇妙”（酸石榴）和“巴伦西亚”（甜石榴）的抗氧化和杀菌活性进行比较分析，以便通过易于工业规模化的过程获得具有高生物价值的产品，从而为该地区的产品增添附加值。
