Evaluation of metabolite profiles and neuroprotective potential in four pomegranate cultivars for Alzheimer's disease prevention
The 'Wonderful' and 'Phoenicia' cultivars demonstrated the most promising antioxidant and neuroprotective effects among the evaluated pomegranates, likely because of their high taxifolin content. These findings suggest that these cultivars could be valuable for developing functional foods aimed at AD prevention and treatment. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
