The formation of amyloid fibrils is associated with many human illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spongiform encephalitis, type 2 diabetes, and primary and secondary systemic amyloidosis.

Of the fruit juices that we examined, that of pomegranate was found to be the most effective inhibitory agent using turbidity measurements and Congo red binding assay. According to our experiments, pomegranate juice reduced the amount of PMS-trypsin amyloid-like fibrils to 3.7% at 5-fold dilution compared with the sample without pomegranate. The inhibitory effect of the pomegranate juice was concentration dependent
