Stigmasterol has been studied for its numerous biological effects on various metabolic diseases, but its potential role as a ubiquitous biomolecule in the plant kingdom is still in its infancy. Efficient utilization of stigmasterol’s properties, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and self-assembly, is necessary for the food industry to effectively prevent microbial growth in food., in addition, to delaying rancidity by slowing down lipid oxidation. The use of safer alternatives for postharvest disease control, which is pressuring scientists to consider stigmasterol as a potential solution for various food-related issues. This article reviews stigmasterol's functions in the food industry, including its detection, …

Pomegranate cultivation has spread to various parts of the world. Pomegranate has been grown almost anywhere in the world, mostly in Iran, India, China, Turkey and the United States. ‘Hicaznar’, ‘Katina’ and ‘Suruç’ pomegranate varieties were used as materials in this study. Analyses of antioxidants, sugars, anthocyanins, organic acids, and colourless phenolic compounds in the juices of these fruits were performed by HPLC and DPPH methods. According to our findings, the highest antioxidant capacity was found in ‘Hicaznar’ variety (19.42 mmol trolox L–1). ‘Hicaznar’ variety had high sugar composition in terms of glucose, fructose, and total sugars while the sucrose …
