Abstract
Development of beneficial sensors to analyze ellagic acid concentrations is of great importance for food safety and human health. Herein, a facile and fast fluorescent probe was carried out for the excellently selective and sensitive measurement of ellagic acid in real samples through histidine protected copper nanoclusters (histidine@Cu NCs) as a nanosensor. This as-developed histidine@Cu NCs were performed through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime analysis. The TEM image revealed that this nanomaterial had spherical features with the average diameter of 2.5 ± 0.05 nm. The blue-green fluorescence of this Cu NCs was found under the UV light. Meanwhile, the maximum excitation and emission wavelength were located at 387 nm and 488 nm. After addition of ellagic acid, the fluorescence of histidine@Cu NCs was slowly weakened with excellent linear range of 0.5-300 μM and detection limit of 0.077 μM. The fluorescence weakening mechanism of this nanosensor were attributed to the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching. Finally, this as-established analysis platform was successfully employed to measure ellagic acid in real samples.

Abstract
Ellagic acid (EA), a natural food component, has been identified as a functional food because of its role in disease prevention. In our previous study on the chemical component of the seeds of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc., ellagitannins (ETs) were firstly isolated and identified; these compounds can yield EA by acidic hydrolysis. Therefore, to evaluate the seeds as a potential source of EA, the free and total EA contents of the seeds, sarcocarps, and barks were evaluated separately. The highest total EA content was found in seeds (14.51-21.58 mg/g), followed by the sarcocarp (1.97-4.51 mg/g) and bark (trace amounts). EA mainly existed as ET in both the seeds and sarcocarps, while a small portion existed in free form. The findings of this study prove that the seeds of C. officinalis are a rich source of EA. This study reports a unique EA profile of C. officinalis for the first time, which may assist in the selection of EA sources for use in research and for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Persian medicine has recommended clinical experiences and proper herbal remedies for prevention and treatment of microbial infections and respiratory diseases. An open‐label, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial was conducted at five hospitals in Tehran and Isfahan provinces of Iran on 358 hospitalized adult patients. A total of 174 patients received standard care and 184 received herbal remedies (polyherbal decoction every 8 hr and two herbal capsules every 12 hr) plus standard care for 7 days. The primary clinical endpoint was the duration of hospital stay, and secondary outcomes were clinical improvement of symptoms based on self‐assessment questionnaire. Results demonstrated that these natural decoction and capsules treatment plus routine care significantly decreased duration of hospital dyspnea (3.291 day vs. 6.468 days), accelerated clinical improvement, and decreased symptoms such as dry cough, dyspnea, muscle pain, headache, fatigue, anorexia, chills, runny nose, sputum cough, and vertigo in the treatment group compared with standard‐care group. Significant effects of these polyherbal formulations on improving the symptoms of COVID‐19 could be incredibly promising for managing this pandemic with acceptable tolerability.

Abstract
Raspberry fruit pomace, a byproduct of juice production, was studied as a potential source of antioxidant compounds. Target high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of important polyphenolic compounds (gallic, p-coumaric, caffeic, quercitrin, chlorogenic, and ellagic acid) was performed together with analysis of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total anthocyanins content (TAC), and antioxidant capacity (via ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays). The differences in polyphenolic content of Rubus idaeus L. pomace were evaluated following ultrasound-assisted extraction and conventional maceration with different organic solvents. Additionally, the yield of free phenolics was measured in hydrolyzed pomace extracts. The results obtained show that the ultrasound method maximizes the quantity of antioxidant compounds in terms of TPC (27.79 mg/L gallic acid equivalent (GAE)), TFC (8.02 mg/g quercetin equivalent (QE)), TAC (7.13 mg/L cyanidine-3-glucoside equivalent (C3G Eq)), caffeic (19.17 µg/g), chlorogenic (3.56 µg/g), ellagic (105.52 µg/g), and gallic acids (8.75 µg/g), as well as FRAP (1002.72 µmol/L) and DPPH assays (969.71 µmol/mL vitamin C equivalent (vit C Eq); 567.00 µmol/100 g Trolox equivalent (TE)). On the other hand, conventional maceration maximizes the yield of quercetin and p-coumaric acid. In terms of biowaste valorization, raspberry fruit pomace has a promising industrial potential and may prove to be useful in the development of antioxidant dietary supplements.

Abstract
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a fruit that is rich in bioactive compounds that has a biowaste (rind and seed) with the potential to be converted into value-added products in a wide variety of applications. Recent studies have demonstrated the potent antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of using pomegranate rind and seed as natural food additives, thus making researchers incorporate them into bioplastics and edible coatings for food packaging. Additionally, these components have shown great plasticizing effects on packaging materials while extending the shelf life of food through active packaging. Even within skin health applications, pomegranate seed oil and its bioactive compounds have been particularly effective in combating UV-induced stresses on animal skin and in-vitro models, where cells and microorganisms are separated from the whole organism. They have also aided in healing wounds and have shown major anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. This review highlights all of the relevant and recent food and skin health applications found in the value-added conversion of pomegranate biowaste. The lack of research in particular areas and future outlook are also discussed.

Abstract
Blue emissive nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with a high quantum yield as high as 84.79% were successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal treatment of citric acid and diethylenetriamine in one pot. The as-prepared N-CQDs displayed excellent stability in high-salt conditions, good photostability, promising the N-CQDs as potential probes for selectively detecting ellagic acid with a linear range of 0.01-50 μM on the basis of inner filter effect. And the hydroponics experiment of gardenia with N-CQDs suggested the good biocompatibility of the N-CQDs, indicating the potential applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, an infectious bacterial disease, which most commonly affects the lungs. In the search for novel active compounds or medicines against tuberculosis, an ethnopharmacological survey combined with a host-pathogen assay has recently highlighted the potency of an aqueous extract of Combretum aculeatum. C. aculeatum is used in traditional medicine and has demonstrated a significant in vitro antimycobacterial activity. Punicalagin, an ellagitannin, was isolated and found to be related to the biological activity of the extract. An analytical method for the evaluation of punicalagin in C. aculeatum was developed by capillary electrophoresis. After method optimization, the quantification of punicalagin was achieved for the evaluation of various plant extracts to determine the content of punicalagin related to the extraction modes and conditions, origin of the plant material, and harvesting period. The developed method demonstrated that the leaves presented the highest punicalagin content compared to the seeds and stems. A decoction of 30 min in boiling water was found to be the best extraction mode of C. aculeatum.

Abstract
Seed-mediated growth has been employed as a simple and powerful means to the shape-controlled synthesis of metal nanocrystals. In this work, we apply the principle of seed-mediated growth in analytical chemistry, and achieve improved sensitivity due to the low energy barrier in the target-induced formation of bimetallic nanoparticles with core-shell structure. As a result, a simple, reliable, highly sensitive and selective method for the detection of ellagic acid (EA), a naturally occurring polyphenolic antioxidant, has been developed. With the aid of EA in alkaline solution, Ag+ ions can be transformed to Ag atoms and deposit on the surfaces of Au nanorods (AuNRs, act as seeds here) to generate Au@Ag core-shell nanorods, accompanied by blue shift of the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of AuNRs from near-infrared region to shorter wavelengths. Based on the linear relationship between the wavelength change of longitudinal LSPR band and the concentration of EA, our method achieves a detectable range of 0.2-20 μM and a limit of detection as low as 40 nM toward EA. This approach is highlighted by its high sensitivity for EA assay, which benefits from the viewpoint of thermodynamics in the nucleation/growth mode of metal nanoparticles. Moreover, this method shows high selectivity for EA detection when potential species coexist, and thus has been successfully applied in the detection of EA in skin-whitening cosmetics. The proposed strategy of seed-mediated growth herein can also be extended to other systems for sensing.

Abstract
Plant polyphenols derived from pomegranates are natural health-promoting components, and their bioactivities are well proved. However, the systematic studies of polyphenols constituents and cytotoxic ability in fruit parts of pomegranates derived from different Chinese cultivars have not been studied yet. In this report, a validated and sensitive HPLC-DAD method and fluorescence spectrophotometric method was established for quantitative analysis of four polyphenols and total phenolic content (TPC) in fruit parts of pomegranates (including peels, flesh, seeds, juices and leaves) derived from five Chinese cultivars, respectively. HPLC analysis was performed on the YMC ODS-A C18 column with gradient elution of MeOH and 0.1 % TFA. Four polyphenols including gallic acid, ellagic acid, punicalagin A&B and punicalin A&B exhibited satisfactory linearity in the concentration ranges of 20-320, 39-624, 74-1184 and 38-608 μg/mL, respectively. The results demonstrated that the amounts of TPC and four polyphenols in different fruit parts of pomegranates varied significantly. Peels of Sour-YRP possessed the highest content of punicalagin A&B (125.23 mg/g), whereas other three polyphenols exhibited only trace. Among the five Chinese cultivars, Sour-YRP contained the highest content of TPC (688.61 mg/g) and could be considered as the desirable botanical source to obtain polyphenols. It is also discovered that low-maturity pomegranate might possessed much higher TPC than high-maturity pomegranate. The optimized HPLC-DAD method could be used for quality control of different pomegranates by identification and quantification of its main polyphenolic components. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxicity of different pomegranates fruit parts to cancer cells was evaluated. We discovered that peels and flesh extract of Sour-YRP significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and Hela cancer cells lines. The results of this work are promising for further investigation and development of pomegranates as therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
An electrochemical method for the determination of ellagic acid (EA) and gallic acid (GA) was successfully applied to extracts of Punica granatum, Myrtus communis, and to Itriphal, a herbal formulation. The voltammetric determination of EA and GA was conducted with a novel sensor based on a modified carbon paste electrode with multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The electrochemical behavior of EA and GA at the modified sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, chronocoulometry, linear sweep voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. Electrochemical parameters such as the diffusion coefficient (D), electron transfer coefficient (α), electron transfer rate constant (k) and ionic exchange current density (Io) were determined for EA and GA oxidation. The detection limit of GA was 0.2 μM and for EA was 0.21 nM over the 180 s accumulation time of the open circuit potential, respectively.

Abstract
Ellagic acid (C(14)H(6)O(8)), a naturally occurring phytochemical, found mainly in berries and some nuts, has anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties. It is found that fluorescence of Ellagic acid (EA) is greatly enhanced by micelle of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant. Based on this effect, a sensitive proposed fluorimetric method was applied for the determination of Ellagic acid in aqueous solution. In the Borax-HCl buffer, the fluorescence intensity of Ellagic acid in the presence of CTAB is proportional to the concentration of Ellagic acid in range from 8.0×10(-10) to 4.0×10(-5) mol L(-1); and the detection limits are 3.2×10(-10) mol L(-1) and 5.9×10(-10) mol L(-1) excited at 266 nm and 388 nm, respectively. The actual samples of pomegranate rinds are simply manipulated and satisfactorily determined. The interaction mechanism studies argue that the negative EA-Borax complex is formed and solubilized in the cationic surfactant CTAB micelle in this system. The fluorescence intensity of EA enhances because the CTAB micelle provides a hydrophobic microenvironment for EA-Borax complex, which can prevent collision with water molecules and decrease the energy loss of EA-Borax complex.
