Pomegranate Peel Extract Effects on Camel Rumen Fermentation and Methane Emissions

A study by Abdullah Sheikh, published on figshare in 2026, investigates the impact of pomegranate peel extract on camel digestion. The dataset likely contains results from in vitro experiments measuring gas production, methane emissions, nutrient digestibility, and predictive values across four treatment levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg). Molecular docking simulations assess the binding affinity of compounds to methanogenic enzymes.

Use Cases

• Modeling the dose-response relationship of pomegranate peel extract on methane emissions based on the described treatment levels.
• Analyzing the correlation between short-chain fatty acid levels and nutrient digestibility as reported in the results.
• Comparing the binding affinities of punicalagin and ellagic acid to methanogenic enzymes from the molecular docking results.

Strengths

• Results include specific percentage reductions in methane emissions (e.g., 19.39%) and total digestible dry matter (e.g., 33.34%) for different treatment levels.
• Integrates in vitro fermentation data with in silico molecular docking simulations, as described in the methodology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical modeling.
