Therefore, there </p> <p>has been a huge attention to find out organic sources with antioxidant properties to prevent oxidative stress-induced </p> <p>damage. Literature data on this subject have suggested that consuming food which contain phenolic compounds </p> <p>decreases the risk of several diseases and protection against certain forms of cancer. Punica granatum L., known </p> <p>as pomegranate belongs to the family Punicacea. It is one of the fundemantel fruit, cultivated in Mediterranean </p> <p>countries. The present study was designed to investigate the total phenolic content of the Derik pomegranate peel </p> <p>and juice, and their protective ability against DNA damage induced by Fenton System. The result indicates that </p> <p>both juice and peel have a significant protective effect on oxidative DNA damage. </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Iğdır Üniversitesi}
