Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Function

1.Anti-cancer of rectum and colon, esophageal carcinoma,liver cancer,lung cancer,carcinoma of tongue and skin.

2.Restrain to human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) and many kinds of microbe and virus.

3.Anti-oxidant, coagulant, descenting blood pressure and sedation.

4.Resist to anti-oxidance, senescence inhibition and skin whitening

5.Treat kinds of symptoms caused by high blood sugar, hypertension.

6.Resist to atherosclerosis and tumour.

Application

Pomegranate P.E. can be made into capsules, troche and granule as healthy food. Besides, it has good solubility in water plus the solution transparence and brilliance color, has been widely added into the beverage as the functional content.

Have you ever wondered what determines your height, hair and skin color and even the size of your nose?

It’s DNA, the genetic material of cell. But do you know how it has been proved?

Here are the experiments that proved it.

Griffith’s Experiment:

Griffith took two strains of pneumococcus bacteria.

1. S (III) – which have smooth polysaccharide capsule, giving smooth colonies (S) and is virulent causing pneumonia.

AND

2. R (II) – which have no capsule, giving Rough colonies (R) and is avirulent unable to cause pneumonia.

When the virulent S (III) bacteria injected in mice, it killed them causing pneumonia.

But when the Avirulent R (II) injected in mice, the mice lives

If you inject the heat killed virulent S (III) bacteria, the mice still live. Implying that live S (III) bacteria are needed for causing pneumonia

But interestingly, when mice were injected with the mixture of heat killed virulent S (III) bacteria and avirulent R (II) bacteria, mice died.

Analysis of dead mice reveals live S (III) virulent bacteria suggesting something form the heat killed S (III) had transformed to the live avirulent R (II) bacteria, responsible for the transformation of the live avirulent bacteria to virulent S (III) bacteria, causing death of mice. This is called as Bacterial Transformation.

To prove DNA is genetic material, team of Avery et al and Hershey and chase performed another experiments. See other video for it.
