Abstract:
As an ancient medicinal and editable resource, pomegranate has a long usage history in the Tibetan medicine, Uyghur medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine. Pomegranate pericarp, seeds and flowers are widely used in both TCM and other ethnic medicine. Therefore, it is important to use modern analytical and detective methods to identify the chemical components in order to clarify its material basis and improve the quality control standards. This article summarized the main chemical compositions and quality evaluation methods of pomegranate pericarp, seeds and juice. Analysis was given on questions occurred during the study process. This study provided scientific data for pharmacodynamic material basis of different parts of pomegranate. It also provided scientific references for compre-hensive development and utilization of pomegranate.
