“…Regarding Mollar de Elche cultivar, our results were higher than reported by Martínez et al [36] of 251.05 g for ME15 cultivar to 261.72 g for ME14, as well as, Legua et al [35] who obtained 280.58 g for ME5 cultivar to 351.48 g for ME16, indicating that our Mollar de Elche cultivar presented bigger fruits than those studied by the authors mentioned. In other studies of different pomegranate cultivars the fruit weight was similar to ours, ranging from 189.4 to 595.9 g in Croatia [52], and between 173.5 and 622.3 g in Italy [33,53], while Tehranifar et al [26] found lowest values, between 197 and 315 g.…”

“…On the contrary, Mollar de Elche was one of the cultivars with low values of flavonoids (53.0 mg QE/100 ml juice) and hydrolyzable tannins (26.0 mg TAE/100 ml juice), explaining its low phenolic content, estimated by total reducing capacity. Our range of total reducing capacity was higher than Ferrara et al [33,53] with values from 30.3 to 282.9 mg GAE/100 ml of juice for Italian pomegranates; Radunić et al [31,52] of 198.56-294.87 mg GAE/100 ml for cultivars grown in Croatia; Ozgen et al [29] of 124.5-207.6 mg GAE/100 ml for Turkish cultivars; and Sepúlveda et al [64] of 67.6-128.0 mg GAE/100 ml for Chilean pomegranate genotypes. On the contrary, Tezcan et al [69] reported higher values than ours, namely 14.4-1008.6 mg GAE/100 ml.…”

“…Hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives include ferulic (31,34), caffeic (33), and p-coumaric (32,35), while hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives consist of gallic (22), vanillic (21,27,28), syringic (29,30), and protocatechuic (24,26) acids. White and Cis 127 were the cultivars with the highest number of phenolic acids derivates identified compounds, namely 14 compounds, while Mollar de Elche, CG8, and Wonderful 1 presented 13 compounds.…”

“…1 3 [28,29], Croatian [30,31], Moroccan [32], and Italian [33] pomegranate cultivars. Regarding Spanish cultivars, some works have also been made, being the cultivars studied until now the following: Mollar de Elche, Piñón Tierno de Ojós, Casta del Reino de Ojós, Borde de Albatera, Borde de Orihuela, Borde de Beniel, Valenciana and Wonderful [10][11][12][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

BACKGROUND: Pomegranate juice has gained attention for its health properties, becoming consequently a highly demanded product. The revival of the pomegranate in Italy, as in other Mediterranean countries, starts with the planting of new intensive orchards characterized by both the new cultivation technique and new varieties. As a result of growing demand and high productivity, pomegranate could become an interesting crop to diversify farm income. This study seeks to determine the aril juice quality attributes and bioactive compounds of six pomegranate cultivars ('Mollar', 'Dente di cavallo', 'Acco', 'Jolly red', 'Wonderful' and 'Wonderful Super') and two local ecotypes ('Eco BA' and 'Eco FG') grown in Apulia region, southern Italy. RESULTS: The aril juices were evaluated for their main physicochemical properties (yield, color, pH, total soluble solids content, titratable acidity, sugar-acid ratio), chemical and bioactive compounds (vitamin C, phenolics, anthocyanins and antioxidant activities). 'Eco BA', 'Mollar' and 'Jolly red' genotypes were characterized by the highest maturity index, and then could be considered to be sweet-sour in taste. Total phenols and antioxidant activity were higher in 'Dente di cavallo' and 'Eco FG' genotypes. 'Eco FG' was also the richest in vitamin C, punicalagin and ellagic acids, while 'Dente di cavallo', 'Acco' and 'Wonderful' showed the highest content of the detected anthocyanin compounds.CONCLUSION: These results contribute to current knowledge about chemical composition, phenolic contents, anthocyanin profiles and antioxidant activity of pomegranate juice from different genotypes, showing in most cases an appreciable juice quality and bioactive profile, although significant differences among them were detected.

BACKGROUND The different parts of pomegranate fruit are considered a powerful mixture of bioactive compounds yet the peels and pulps of the fruits are usually discarded and considered as industrial waste. In this work, ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC‐QqQ‐MS) was utilized for metabolomics analysis of different parts (peel, pulp, seed and juice) of pomegranate fruit cultivars to verify possible variations among the fruits and their waste products as potential sources of functional constituents. RESULTS Orthogonal projection to latent structure‐discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA) coefficient‐plot showed enrichment of phenolic compounds such as punicalagin and ellagic acid derivatives in pulp samples while seeds class was enriched in phlorizin, catechin and quercetin, juice class showed abundance of naringenin and pelargonidin‐3‐pentoside while peels were enriched in anthocyanins and flavonoids including cyanidin diglycoside, quercetin and luteolin glycosides. Although the juice samples of almost all tested cultivars showed remarkable cytotoxic activity, the pulp samples, particularly the Manfalouti cultivar, exhibited the most potent [half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 2.367 ± 0.14 μg/mL in MCF‐7, IC50 = 3.854 ± 0.23 μg/mL in Hep‐G2 cell lines]. OPLS models were constructed for determination of cytotoxicity‐associated metabolites among where the coefficients plots revealed tannins; granatin A, ellagic acid derivatives, punicalagin α and β, in addition to anthocyanins and phenolic compounds; cyanidin diglycoside, quercetin, phlorizin, 3‐O‐caffeoylquinic acid, naringenin and liquiritin were more pertinent with cytotoxicity of the different parts of pomegranate fruit. CONCLUSION The results obtained allow for the full utilization of the resources of pomegranate fruit and its industrial waste as sources of bioactive compounds. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
