Abstract | ||||
Biological active compounds play to protect against coronary artery disease as well as diabetes . Therefore, the availability of food containing a high level of bioactive compounds is necessary,so this study aims to utilize from pomegranate peel in preparation of food products . Th chemical composition and antioxidant activity of pomegranate peel was evaluated ,as well as the preparation of food products which including ( chichen nuggets ,fish burger , crackers and pizzas) , by adding different ration proportions of pomegranate peel powder ( 2.5 , 5 , 7.5 % ). Chemical composition , The results showed that pomegranate peel powder was low in fat content (0.71 %),high fiber content (10.56 %) and antioxidant activity (89.85%), and total phenolics content ( 2065.25 mg/g ) total flavonoids content (314.85mg/g) Generally , the results of the chemical composition of the products showed that the pomegranate peel powder strengthened the high percentage of fiber and protein in the products due to high content of these elements , As a result , pomegranate peel powder was used in the preparation of som products (chichen nuggets ,fish burger ,pizzas and crackers) . The organoleptic properties of products containing pomegranate peel powder to 2.5 % .
