Abstract* Background Pomegranate peel is a valuable, nutrient-rich agro-industrial byproduct containing bioactive ellagitannins with limited bioavailability. Biological fermentation, particularly synergistic co-culturing, is a powerful bioprocess for enhancing the nutritional and functional properties of plant matrices. This study aimed to maximize the ellagic acid content of Pomegranate Peel Extract (PPE) by exploiting synergistic fermentation using Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Pediococcus pen
