Pomegranate Ellagitannin
The pomegranate ellagitannins, which include punicalagin isomers, are ellagitannins found in the sarcotestas, rind (peel), bark or heartwood of the pomegranate fruit (''Punica granatum''). Chemistry As the chemistry of punicalagins became known it was found to be not unique to pomegranate. Punicalagins are present in numerous species of the genus ''Terminalia (plant), Terminalia'', species ''Terminalia chebula, chebula'' Retz. ("Fructus Chebulae"), ''Terminalia myriocarpa, myriocarpa'', ''Terminalia catappa, catappa'' and Terminalia citrina, citrina (tropical flowering trees historically used in African traditional medicine for antibiotic and antifungal purposes). They have also been isolated from ''Cistus salvifolius'' (a Mediterranean shrub) and ''Combretum molle'' (an African shrub). Pomegranate fruits natural phenols can be extracted with ethyl acetate and fractionation can afford the ellagitannin punicalagins. Dietary supplementation A few dietary supplements and nutrit ...

Pomegranate03 Edit
The pomegranate (''Punica granatum'') is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punica, Punicoideae, that grows between tall. Rich in symbolic and mythological associations in many cultures, it is thought to have originated from Afghanistan and Iran before being introduced and exported to other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and into California by New Spain, Spanish settlers in 1769. It is widely cultivated throughout West Asia and the Caucasus region, South Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, north and tropical Africa, the drier parts of Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean Basin. The fruit is typically in season in the Northern Hemisphere from September to February, and in the Southern Hemisphere from March to May. The pomegranate and its juice are variously used in baking, cooking, juice blends, garnish (food), garnishes, non-alcoholic drinks, and cocktails. Etymology The name ...

Punicalin
Punicalin is an ellagitannin. It can be found in '' Punica granatum'' (pomegranate) or in the leaves of '' Terminalia catappa'', a plant used to treat dermatitis and hepatitis. It is also reported in '' Combretum glutinosum'', all three species being Myrtales, the two last being Combretaceae. It is a highly active carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.

Punicalagin
Punicalagin (''Pyuni-cala-jen'') is an ellagitannin, a type of phenolic compound. It is found as alpha and beta isomers in pomegranates (''Punica granatum''), '' Terminalia catappa'', '' Terminalia myriocarpa'', and in '' Combretum molle'', the velvet bushwillow, a plant species found in South Africa. These three genera are all Myrtales and the last two are both Combretaceae The Combretaceae, often called the white mangrove family, are a family of flowering plant Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). The term angiosperm is derived from the Ancient Greek, G .... Research Punicalagins are water-soluble and hydrolyze into smaller phenolic compounds, such as ellagic acid. There were no toxic effects in rats on a 6% diet of punicalagins for 37 days. In laboratory research, punicalagins had carbonic anhydrase inhibitor activity.

Emblica Officinalis
''Phyllanthus emblica'', also known as emblic, emblic myrobalan, myrobalan, nelikai, Indian gooseberry, Malacca tree, amloki or amla, is a deciduous tree of the family Phyllanthaceae. Its native range is tropical and southern Asia. Description The tree is small to medium in size, reaching in height. The bark is mottled. The branchlets are finely pubescent (not glabrous), long, usually deciduous. The leaves are simple, subsessile and closely set along branchlets, light green, resembling pinnate leaves. The flowers are greenish–yellow. The fruit is nearly spherical, light greenish–yellow, quite smooth and hard on appearance, with six vertical stripes or furrows. The fruit is up to in diameter, and, while the fruit of wild plants weigh approximately , cultivated fruits average to . Chemical constituents The fruits contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and have a bitter taste that may derive from a high density of ellagitannins, such as emblicanin ...
