Iran, major pomegranate producer and exporter

jagger — 2005-04-05T14:30:53Z

LONDON, April 4 (IranMania) - Covering some 60,000 hectares of lands and producing around 670, 000 tons of pomegranate, Iran is the largest producer and exporter of the fruit in the world, a news report said.

Different varieties of the fruit is produced almost in all parts of the country i.e. in the valleys, hillsides or steps and is grown in the form of dry farming in the plains or in the large irrigated orchards.

However, Fars Province, enjoying 13,000 hectares of the lands under cultivation produces about 155,000 tons of pomegranates - over 21 percent of Iran’s pomegranates produce per annum - and ranks the first and largest producer of the commodity in the country. Also, the pomegranate produced in the province is highly demanded by its foreign customers.

Recent trends in the exports of the commodity are indicative of the fact that Iran’s pomegranate export has steadily increased year by year. According to the figures, over 150,000 tons of the produce was exported to different European countries and to markets in Russia, Ukraine, Arab countries as well as the Central Asian countries.Like many other agricultural products, the export of Iran’s pomegranate is facing numerous hindrances most important of which are the lack of a decent transportation system, producers and exporters’ inadequate knowledge in the field which prevents them from being familiar with the recent scientific and modern methods and procedures in farming and marketing issues. Moreover, the overwhelming unnecessary bureaucracy is said to be another major hampering obstacle in the way of the export of the commodity.

Pomegranate Juice Cuts Cardiovascular Risks

Pomegranate Juice Cuts Cardiovascular Risks
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter

TUESDAY, March 22 (HealthDay News) -- A large glass of pomegranate juice a day may help keep the heart doctor away.

Italian and American scientists report that pomegranate juice helped keep fatty deposits from collecting on artery walls in mice, and kept human heart cells healthier.

"Mice that drank pomegranate juice were able to significantly reduce the progression of atherosclerosis, [by] at least 30 percent," said study co-author Dr. Claudio Napoli, a professor of medicine and clinical pathology at the University of Naples School of Medicine in Italy.

The findings appear in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Pomegranates, a native Middle Eastern fruit, are finding their way into more and more homes in the United States. The fruit contains crunchy seeds surrounded by juicy pulp and is a good source of potassium, vitamin C and antioxidants, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

"Pomegranates are fun to eat, but messy," noted Samantha Heller, a senior clinical nutritionist at New York University Medical Center. For that reason, she said, "juice may be a better option."

Napoli and his colleagues tested the effects of pomegranate juice in mice that were bred to have high cholesterol and on human heart cells in culture.

Previous studies, according to Napoli, have suggested the antioxidants found in pomegranate juice might reduce plaque buildup on artery walls and reduce oxidative stress on endothelial cells, the cells that line blood vessels. These cells produce nitric oxide, a substance that helps the blood vessels relax.

The researchers found that heart cells treated with pomegranate juice had a 50 percent increase in nitric oxide production, and that mice given pomegranate juice reduced the rate of plaque buildup by about 30 percent.

"The protective effects of pomegranate juice were higher than previously assumed," Napoli noted.

The researchers don't know the exact reason why pomegranate juice appears to protect artery walls from fatty deposits, but they suspect that the increased nitric oxide production may play a role, and that polyphenols -- powerful antioxidants contained in pomegranates and other foods -- may directly protect the arteries by reducing oxidative stress.

Other fruits and juices that contain polyphenols include blueberries, cranberries, oranges and grapes. Red wine also contains polyphenols, Napoli said.

Heller pointed out that while pomegranates are very healthy and high in antioxidants, they can be expensive and aren't always easy to find. Plus, she said, "all fruits and vegetables are just packed with healthy phytochemicals." Examples she cited as being high in antioxidants include berries, beans, apples, pecans and artichokes, just to name a few.

Heller also noted that the study was done primarily on mice and that data from mice don't always extrapolate to humans. But, she added, "the phytochemicals in pomegranates, which are also present in other fruits and vegetables, are really very good for us, and do help prevent certain chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer."

Napoli said that while it is hard to extrapolate data from mice to humans, an equivalent amount of pomegranate juice for humans would be the equivalent of about 16 ounces daily.

May Be The Next Best Thing For People With Heart Disease
Medindia Health News March 25, 2005

New study has suggested that polyphenolic antioxidants present in the juice of pomegranate may help in reducing stress and atherogenesis.

Atherogenesis is the process of plaques etc forming in the inner lining of the arteries that make them hard causing a state of atherosclerosis. This causes disturbed blood flow and may cause serious damage to heart. Perceived stress increases the risk of atherogenesis.

The new study shows that cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells exposed to high stress reacted positively to concentrated pomegranate juice. The juice reduced the activation of redox-sensitive genes in atherosclerosis prone mice. When these mice were orally fed with pomegranate juice, the hypercholesterolemic mice at different stages of the disease showed significant reduction in progress of atherosclerosis.

The study shows that pro-atherogenic effects caused by shear stress can be controlled by chronic use of pomegranate juice. This will in future help a lot of people undergoing treatment of atherosclerosis or something similar.

The study was published in the march 2005 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Return of the Pomegranate Seed Oil

Pomegranate fruits have also appeared throughout history as symbols of royalty, hope, and abundance. Pomegranate Seed Oil is a blend of natural, cold-pressed seed oil.

Pomegranate Seed Oil Capsules – the dietary supplement

Pomegranate Seed Oil Capsules are highly suited as a dietary supplement as they contain Omega 3 fatty acids which are polyunsaturated acids.

These Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be produced in the human body and therefore are important in dietary supplements. In our contemporary nutrition mainly composed of processed and preserved food the Omega 3 fatty acids are widely disappearing. Dietary supplement is the only way to provide the body with these necessary substances.

Cytotoxic effect of conj. tri. fatty acids pomegranate on mouse tumor..

Cytotoxic effect of conjugated trienoic fatty acids on mouse tumor and human monocytic leukemia cells.

The cytotoxicity of fatty acids from seed oils containing conjugated linolenic acids (CLN) was studied. Fatty acids from pomegranate, tung, and catalpa were cytotoxic to human monocytic leukemia cells at concentrations exceeding 5 microM for pomegranate and tung and 10 microM for catalpa, but fatty acids from pot marigold oil had no effect at concentrations ranging up to 163 microM. The main conjugated fatty acids of pomegranate, tung, catalpa, and pot marigold were cis(c)9,trans(t)11,c13-CLN (71.7%), c9,t11,t13-CLN (70.1%), t9,t11,c13-CLN (31.3%), and t8,t10,c12-CLN (33.4%), respectively. Therefore, the cytotoxicities of fatty acids from pomegranate, tung, and catalpa were supposed to be due to 9,11,13-CLN isomers. To elucidate the cytotoxicity of these CLN, we separated each CLN isomer from the fatty acid mixtures by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed its cytotoxicity. The cytotoxicities of c9,t11,c13-CLN, c9,t11,t13-CLN, and t9,t11,c13-CLN were much stronger than that of t8,t10,c12-CLN. Therefore, the higher cytotoxicity of fatty acids from pomegranate, tung, and catalpa than those from pot marigold would be derived from the different activities of 9,11,13-CLN and 8,10,12-CLN. Since there was little difference in the cytotoxicities of c9,t11,c13-CLN,c9,t11,t13-CLN, and t9,t11,c13-CLN, it is suggested that the cis/trans configuration of 9,11,13-CLN isomers had little effect on their cytotoxic effects. The mechanism of the cytotoxicity of the four fatty acids above may involve lipid peroxidation, because the order of toxicity of the fatty acids was consistent with their susceptibility to peroxidation in aqueous phase. This was supported by the decrease in the cytotoxicity of the fatty acids by addition of butylated hydroxytoluene.
