Separation and purification of phenolic compounds from pomegranate juice by ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes

摘要

Pomegranate juice is well recognized for its nutritional and health benefits due to the presence of phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins, ellagic acid, phytoestrogenic flavonoids and tannins. Therefore, the demand for the production of functional foods containing bioactive compounds isolated from the juice has remarkably increased in the last decade.
