Determination of phenolic pomegranate peels content of phenolic compounds and it’s effect on wheat germination

الملخص EN

Pomegranate peels were extracted by ethyl alcohol.

The phenolic compound contents estimated in peels and ethanolic extract were (480, 920 mg /100 g.) as caffeic acid respectively.

Pomegranate peels extract activated the wheat germination, at low concentrations, by 131% while at high concentrations the wheat germination was inhibited by 66.3% compared to the control.

A reverse relation was also noticed between immersion time and hormonic effect.
