“…In addition to its long history of domestication in Iran and other parts of Central Asia, pomegranates ( Punica granatum L.) have spread to other warm locations throughout the globe due to trade and invasion 1 . It’s one of the most economically viable tropical and subtropical fruit crops, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with poor soil and water quality and other yield-restricting variables 2 . Temperature and humidity in the summer are critical for the pomegranate to mature correctly; in addition, the tree’s distribution is determined by its vulnerability to cold temperatures.…”

“…Pomegranate fruit and aril have been shown to vary in biochemical composition and mineral components based on genetics, growing location, climatic conditions, maturation, harvest procedures, and storage conditions. In addition, commercial Iranian pomegranate cultivars vary significantly in color, size, and several biochemicals including TSS, TA, pH, phenol content, and antioxidants 2 . Consequently, the concentration of these chemicals in pomegranate fruit is critical to meet the high demand for various goods by the marketing and processing industries.…”

The highest quality pomegranate necessitates a tropical or subtropical environment for proper growth and development. This study evaluated two pomegranate cultivars including Rabab Poost Ghermez Neyriz (RPGN) and Makhmal Malas Shahreza (MMS) for physical traits, biochemical properties, and juice quality in their native locations as well as other warm and arid regions during two growing seasons (2019–2020 and 2020–2021) in Iran. The results showed that cultivars with the maximum redness (a*) were more likely to originate in cooler climates, and the cultivar’s responses to changing climates were also different. According to pomegranate characteristics, cultivars in different regions had different fruit, aril, and skin weights. According to these findings, pomegranate fruits cultivated in other climates than the origin climate have a smaller edible fraction. The findings also demonstrate that pomegranate fruits cultivated in mountain climates have more significant biochemical parameters such as total phenol, anthocyanin content, antioxidant capacity, and vitamin C than those produced in desert environment settings. The increased titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), and pH values of pomegranates produced in origin climate than the warm environment; thus, suggest that changes in pomegranate cultivar origin had a clear impact on fruit juice quality. Environmental factors, such as wind speed, altitude, and annual precipitation, had a significant correlation with a* skin, TSS, fruit weight, aril weight, edible portion, pH, TA, phenol, antioxidants, and anthocyanin content.
