Pomegranate has been long used in traditional medicine to treat
a variety of human diseases (Nonaka et al.,1990). In particular, fruit
peel extracts have a free radical scavenger effect and potent
antioxidant capacity due to the presence of a high concentration of
various biologically active components (Akhtar et al., 2015; Fischer
et al., 2011; Lee et al., 2010).
