| Abstract | Pomegranate juice (PJ) and pomegranate polyphenolic extracts (PP) have antiviral effects against HIV-1, influenza, herpes, and poxviruses, and we recently demonstrated their effect against human noroviral surrogates. In the present study, the time-dependent effects of two commercial brands of PJ and PP at two concentrations (2 and 4 mg/mL) on the infectivity of foodborne viral surrogates (feline calicivirus FCV-F9, murine norovirus MNV-1, and MS2 bacteriophage) at room temperature for up to 1 h were evaluated. Each virus at â¼5 log(10) plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL was mixed with equal volumes of PJ, or PP at 4 or 8 mg/mL, and incubated for 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min at room temperature. Viral titers after each treatment were determined by standardized plaque assays and compared with untreated controls. Virus titer reduction by PJ and PP was found to be a rather rapid process, with ≥50% of titer reduction occurring within the first 20 min of treatment for all three tested viruses. Within the first 20 min, titer reductions of 3.12, 0.79, and 0.23 log(10) PFU/mL for FCV-F9, MNV-1, and MS2, respectively, were obtained using PJ. FCV-F9, MNV-1, and MS2 titers were reduced by 4.02, 0.68, and 0.18 log(10) PFU/mL with 2 mg/mL PP and 5.09, 1.14, and 0.19 log(10) PFU/mL with 4 mg/mL PP, respectively, after 20 min. The mechanism of viral reduction by PJ and PP needs to be elucidated and clinical trials should be undertaken before recommending for therapeutic or preventive purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
