Gastroprotective Effects of Pomegranate (Punica Granatum L.) Peel Powder-Enriched Functional Food in Gastric Ulcer Management
Background/Objective: This study evaluated the effects of pomegranate peel powder (PPP)-enriched muffins containing 1.5 g or 2.5 g PPP on H. pylori, inflammation, oxidative stress, and gastric ulcer healing in patients with gastric ulcers.
Conclusion: PPP-enriched muffins showed potential as a functional dietary intervention for improving antioxidant and anti-inflammatory status and supporting gastric ulcer healing.
Background/Objective: This study investigated the therapeutic potential of pomegranate peel powder (PPP), a polyphenol- and antioxidant-rich ingredient, incorporated into whole-wheat muffins at doses of 1.5 g and 2.5 g for patients with gastric ulcers. The study assessed its potential effects on H. pylori infection, gastric inflammation, oxidative stress, and mucosal healing.
Conclusion: PPP-enriched muffins were evaluated as a functional dietary intervention with potential gastroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting their possible role in dietary management of gastric ulcers.
