“…In India, it is found in the hill slopes of western Himalayan regions and mainly distributed in the states like Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand at an altitude of 900 to 1800 m above mean sea level. In Himachal Pradesh, it is distributed in Solan, Sirmour, Mandi, Shimla, Kullu and Chamba districts [6][7][8]. The edible part (50%) of the pomegranate fruit is termed as aril which constitutes about 40% of the fruit with 10% seeds.…”

“…The wild pomegranate arils (50.90-56.01%) are rich source of organic acids, sugars and antioxidant compounds like ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, phenols, flavonoids which contribute towards high antioxidant activity of the fruit. The various antioxidant compounds present in cultivated and wild forms of pomegranate fruit contributes towards its medicinal and pharmacological properties which also helps in the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders [8,[12][13][14].…”

Wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits were procured from Karsog area of Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India (1265 m above mean sea level). The arils extracted from the fruits were dehydrated in a solar tunnel (30-45°C) drier to prepare value added product Anardana. The developed product was packed in three different packaging materials viz. gunny bags, aluminium laminated pouches (ALP) and aluminium laminated pouches with vacuum (ALPV) and stored under ambient and refrigerated temperature for a period of 12 months so as to evaluate overall effect of storage period, storage condition and packaging material. After 12 months of storage period, higher retention of various quality characteristics like TSS, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugars, anthocyanins content, sensory characteristic scores with less increase in moisture content, NEB (non-enzymatic browning),HMF (hydroxymethyl furfural) and furfural content was observed in Anardana packed in ALPV followed by ALP and gunny bags. The changes in the quality characteristics of the Anardana were slower in refrigerated storage conditions as compared to ambient conditions.

“…In Himachal Pradesh, it is spread evenly in Solan, Sirmour, Mandi, Shimla, Kullu and Chamba districts (Bhrot, 1998). Darlaghat is one of the most important centres of wild pomegranate growing region in Himachal Pradesh which is about 50 km from Shimla (Thakur et al, 2011). It is deciduous in temperate ecosystem and an evergreen or partially deciduous in tropical and subtropical conditions.…”

Present investigations were carried out on wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) in three locations spread across two districts of Himachal Pradesh. The extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance with respect to fruit morphology (i.e. fruit width, fruit length, fresh weight of fruit, fresh weight of rind, fresh seed weight with pulp and fresh seed weight without pulp and quality traits (i.e TSS, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, acidity and ascorbic acid) in the fruits of fifteen wild pomegranate genotypes from Tatool, Narag and Daro Deohria were studied. Fruit width, length, fresh weight of fruit, fresh weight of rind, TSS, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and ascorbic acid were recorded with high heritability. Thus, selection of progenies based on performance would be effective for these characters. All the parameters were positively and significantly correlated with each parameter. Fresh weight of seed with aril had highly significant and positive correlation with fruit width, fruit length, total sugar and reducing sugar. Therefore, emphasis should be given to these characters while selecting a genotype for enhancing yield and fruit size in pomegranate. On the basis of desirable parameters, best individuals will be selected and tree improvement programme can be taken up for further studies.Morphological, quality, wild pomegranate, Punica granatum L.

“…flavonoids and hydrolyzable tannins (punicalagin, gallic and ellagic acid) and these compounds strengthen the immune function and lower down the risk of infection, cardiovascular diseases and cancer (Aloqbi et al, 2016;Sakar, 2016;Thakur et al, 2018;Thakur et al 2019. Phenolic compounds have free radical scavenging abilities, anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic activities and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and carcinogenic diseases (Nakamura et al, 2003).…”

“…Flavonoids are the most abundant plant polyphenols occurring in fruits with strong antioxidant activity and disease-preventing properties against cancer and cardiovascular diseases (Wang and Ho, 2009;Cecere et al, 2016). The various flavonoids like anthocyanins, ellagic acid derivatives and hydrolysable tannins (punicalagin, gallic and ellagic acid) are responsible for the antioxidant activity of pomegranate fruit and a very high antioxidant activity in the wild and cultivated pomegranate fruit extracts (peel, juice and seeds) have been observed by various researchers (Gill et al, 2000;Aviram et al, 2000;Singh et al, 2002;Thakur et al, 2018;Hamid et al, 2020a). Wild pomegranate fruit is highly acidic in nature which is not fit for fresh consumption and its arils are dried to yield a value-added processed product known as anardana (Thakur et al, 2020a).…”

Wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit arils with high acid content are processed into dried arils (anardana) which is used as an ingredient in various medicinal formulations and culinary preparations. The various phenols and flavonoids are responsible for the antioxidant activity of anardana which signifies its functional benefits. The advanced packaging techniques like vacuum packaging, can retain higher antioxidant activity characteristics during storage. So, the present studies were carried out to compare the effect of packaging on total phenols, flavonoids, DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) antioxidant activity, metal chelating activity, FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) and reducing power of anardana prepared in mechanical cabinet drier. Anardana was packed in different packaging materials and stored under ambient and refrigerated temperature conditions. The overall effect of storage during 12 months revealed that there was a significant (p< 0.05) decrease in total phenols (180.95 to 161.76 mg GAE/100 g), flavonoids (40.60 to 32.66 mg QuE/100 g), DPPH antioxidant activity (61.23 to 56.13%), metal chelating activity (22.25 to 19.37%), FRAP (34.60 to 31.73 ?M Fe2+/100 g) and reducing power (0.610 to 0.521) which was observed less in anardana packed in ALPV (aluminium laminated pouches with vacuum) followed by ALP (aluminium laminated pouches) and gunny bags. Due to slower rates of degradation of various antioxidant compounds, the changes after 12 months of storage were lower under refrigerated conditions. The total phenols, flavonoids and DPPH antioxidant activity were reduced from 180.95 to 167.24 and 156.28 mg GAE/100 g, 40.60 to 34.95 and 30.37 mg QuE/100 g and 61.23 to 57.99 and 54.27 % in refrigerated and ambient temperature conditions, respectively.
