Abstract:
Citrus paradisi is significantly used as antimicrobial, antioxidant agent and also used for the prevention of cancer, cellular regeneration, lowering cholesterol, detoxification, and weight loss. Punica granatum L. has great nutritional values and numerous health benefits including the treatment for cancer, osteoarthritis, arthritis, sore throat, urinary tract infections, and digestive disorders. The pomegranates have the potential to thin the blood, increase blood flow to the heart, and reduce cholesterol. This study is designed to examine the comparison the potency of Citrus paradisi and Punica granatum L. peel extract to reveal its active chemicals because the peels are removed as waste materials although they could be a source of beneficial components. Several characteristic peaks of the functional groups contained in peels have been seen in the FTIR technique, by DPPH and HPLC, the antioxidant potential and vitamin C, respectively were determined. The interpretation of the minerals was determined by flame photometer and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The findings of Punica granatum L. peels were the remarkable mineral profiles for S (142 mg/kg), P (150 mg/kg), K (760 mg/kg), Fe (35.73 mg/kg), and DPPH scavenging activity (80%) whereas the Citrus paradisi peels were found to contain the highest levels of Ca (780 mg/kg), Na (145 mg/kg), Zn (1.82 mg/kg), and vitamin C (85.6 mg/100g). Investigation of phytochemicals from extracts dissolved in ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane were used to determine alkaloids, flavonoids, reducing sugars, Phenols, proteins, amino acids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and glycosides whereas the amine salt, carboxlic acids, aromatic compounds and phenols were determined in the peels of Punica granatum L. and the aliphatic primary amine, alkane, aldehyde, alkyl aryl ether, organic fluoro compounds and a,ß-unsaturated ketone were identified in both fruit's peel by FTIR investigation.
