Abstract:Pomegranate (Punica granatum), an ancient and well-recognized fruit, is highly valued in traditional medicine and the food industry for its rich composition of phytochemicals. This research investigated the effect of freeze-drying (FD) and oven-drying (OD) on the aroma profile and antibacterial activity of pomegranate seed essential oils (EOs). The aromatic compounds were evaluated using four different extraction techniques—hydrodistillation (HD), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), headspace solid-phase mic… Show more
