Recent Progress in Research on Ellagic Acid as a Functional Component in Pomegranate

doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6630-201423063

Abstract

Abstract:

Ellagic acid is an important phenolic compound in pomegranate, which is closely associated with health protective
effects of pomegranate consumption. The phenolic compound has a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant,
anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial functions. The structure, physicochemical properties, separation and
purification, quantitative determination, metabolic pathways and health beneficial effects of ellagic acid are reviewed in this
article. This review will hopefully lay the theoretical foundation for the cultivation regulation of pomegranate for improved
functional qualities as well as the exploitation and utilization of processed pomegranate products.

Key words: pomegranate, ellagic acid, metabolic pathways, health beneficial effects
