Özet:

 


The nutritional value of different pomegranate
verities was determined in the laboratory of Biochemistry, Ayub Agricultural
Research Institute (AARI), Faisalabad Pakistan to study the effectiveness of
pomegranate juice as health responsive. The results showed that tested
pomegranate varieties contained peels and seed percentage range from 34-40% and
28-39% respectively. Juice contained a much higher remarkable content of total
soluble solids ranged from (15-19%), reducing sugar (10 to 14%), non-reducing
sugars (2.8 to 5%), total invert sugars (13.8 to 18%), Vitamin-C (10.5 to12.6 mg/100 mL) and acidity (0.9 to 1.7%).
Total phenols and antioxidants were higher in Sultan (1101µg GAE  L-1 (gallic acid equivalants) and
41.5% DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) inhibition respectively) and lowest
in NARC-1(1012 – 1101 µg GAE L-1 and 25.7% respectively). Therefore,
the current results suggest that nutritional status of pomegranate variety,
Sultan was better than Turnab Ghulabi, NARC-1, NARC-2 and Kandhari. It can be directed
to incorporate Sultan (pomegranate) fruit juice for better nutritional status.
