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