Pomegranate cultivation has spread to various parts of the world. Pomegranate has been grown almost anywhere in the world, mostly in Iran, India, China, Turkey and the United States. ‘Hicaznar’, ‘Katina’ and ‘Suruç’ pomegranate varieties were used as materials in this study. Analyses of antioxidants, sugars, anthocyanins, organic acids, and colourless phenolic compounds in the juices of these fruits were performed by HPLC and DPPH methods. According to our findings, the highest antioxidant capacity was found in ‘Hicaznar’ variety (19.42 mmol trolox L–1). ‘Hicaznar’ variety had high sugar composition in terms of glucose, fructose, and total sugars while the sucrose …

With the significant increase in population in cities, the necessity of growing safe and functional food is of great importance. Pomegranate fruit has many valuable antioxidant properties. The subject of study was the pomegranate from the continental region (Sremski Karlovci, Serbia) and the Mediterranean region (Bar, Montenegro). We compared biochemically active compounds in genotypes from both locations. The analysis performed included total phenolics, tannins, flavonoid contents, proanthocyanidins, pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, as well as carotenoids. Analysis of vitamin C, titratable acidity, pH value, and total sugars were also performed. Two antioxidant tests were also conducted, including DPPH and …
