Abstract

The pan global narrative regarding Covid-19 combat is sans any focus on ‘Functional Food’ and or any fruit or any simple physiologically compatible acid moiety.

To bring to light that (i) Punica granatum -Linn is an peerless functional food candidate and its sole active moiety (Ellagic Acid -EA) is anti-viricide (ii) Either along with many another aspects have been extensively studied world-wide more specially following our initial reports. There is also no tabulated monograph on any such topic.

Search the scholastic domain from various perspectives and set the citations in chronological manner.

There are more than 175 published scientific documents dated between 1957-2023. Less known.

An unique histographic monograph comprised of 178 citations is presented with Punica and EA as the candidate pair. Never before like ground breaking. A fresh new way of distilate packed ‘review presentation’. Excellent for data mining with ease.
