Pomegranate peels were also extracted with different solvents,
including methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and water
using a magnetic stirrer in order to compare the results with the
results obtained by PWE. 10 grams of pomegranate peels were extracted
with 100 ml of methanol at 40 C for 1 h. The extract was
filtered through a Whatman No. 1 filter paper. The residue was
re-extracted with the same volume of the same solvent. The extracts
were pooled and the volume adjusted to 250 ml by the same
solvent. The same procedure was applied for the other solvents.
Extracts were filtered by a 0.45 lm filter prior to analysis.
