Περίληψη:	Fruits rich in polyphenols have been shown to have health benefits associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Ellagitannins (ET) and ellagic acid (EA) are polyphenols found in fruits and seeds. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a rich source of ET and is considered as a new therapeutic agent. A small number of clinical trials in humans have highlighted the positive effects of pomegranate juice and extract consumption on cardiovascular health. It could be used as a future therapeutic agent towards hypertension, heart disease, Alzheimer. The present study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant/free-radical scavenging properties of the juice, peel and seed extracts of pomegranate from mainland Greece. The peel homogenates from both pomegranate cultivars Central Macedonia (B) and Thrace (C) showed higher DPPH activity than that of the aril juices and seeds extracts. For both pomegranate cultivars B and C, peel homogenates and aril juices showed higher reducing activity than the seeds extracts. C peel homogenate was a strong reducing agent. Peel homogenates showed higher total phenol content than the aril juices. Total flavonoids (TF) and hydrolysable tannins (HT) results showed that peel homogenates from both pomegranate cultivars contained significantly higher contents than juices. Peel homogenates from both cultivars showed higher EA content than juices. B cultivar in its peel homogenates showed higher free radical scavenging activity, total phenol, total flavonoid, hydrolysable tannins and ellagic acid contents than C cultivar. Results of this study are very promising and suggest that pomegranate peels could be a rich source of beneficial phytochemicals.
