Abstract :Pomegranate peel, a fruit by-product, is a rich source bioactive compound. This study evaluated the effects of shade (SD) and oven drying (OD) on the bioactive content and antioxidant properties of pomegranate peel. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by reducing power activity, radical scavenging, and metal chelating assays. Results showed that total bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity were influenced by drying methods. The study indicated that pomegranate peel could be utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries.
