Description
Madyha Mahmoud and co-authors compare two fruit waste powders in a 2026 lab study. Pomegranate peel and coarse date seed powder are rich in plant compounds but often thrown away. The team ran a set of dish-based tests on both powders. They checked how well each fought harmful oxygen forms and guarded cells. Tests also probed joint-related damage and an enzyme tied to memory.
The pomegranate peel powder beat the date seed powder on most tests. It mopped up harmful oxygen forms at far lower doses. It also guarded red blood cells better and slowed protein damage more. The authors link its edge to a higher load of phenolic compounds. They suggest the peel could serve in foods built to support health. Date seed powder showed weaker but real activity in the same tests.
