“…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.…”

“…Regarding organic acids, citric acid (53) and L-malic acid (52) have been pointed out as the main organic acids in pomegranate juices [46]. In the present study, Mollar de Elche and Cis 127 were the only cultivars with L-malic acid, whereas, citric acid was presented in Valenciana, Cis 127, Katirbasi and Wonderful 2.…”

“…When comparing this range with other authors, who also studied cultivars grown in Spain, including Mollar de Elche (ME), Valenciana (V), and Wonderful (W) beyond others, our range was quite similar. Melgarejo et al [44] [29,30,35,36,44,57], making pressure on the arils against a nylon mesh [3,56] or through layers of cheesecloth [52].The organic acids present in the arils of pomegranate include, mainly, citric, malic, oxalic, acetic, fumaric, and tartaric acids [10]. According to Mars et al [58] cited by Pavez [54], pomegranate cultivars can be classified by juice acidity (expressed as citric acid percentage) in sweet, sour-sweet and sour.…”

As phytochemicals, anthocyanins are not only responsible for the diverse colors in nature, but are associated with broad‐spectrum health‐promoting effects for human beings. Pomegranate is abundant in anthocyanins which possess high antioxidant capacities. However, the pomegranate anthocyanins profile and their contributions to antioxidant capacities are not fully depicted. The purpose of this article is to review anthocyanins from pomegranate as important antioxidants. Total anthocyanin content (TAC) and six major components vary greatly with intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In pomegranate, anthocyanins mainly acted as primary antioxidants, while their action as secondary antioxidants were not conclusive. The antioxidant potentials of anthocyanins were significantly affected by factors especially chemical structure and detection assays in vitro. The current knowledge may provide insights into potential applications for pomegranate anthocyanins based on their antioxidant activities.

Preharvest application of methyl jasmonate increases crop yield, fruit quality and bioactive compounds in pomegranate ‘Mollar de Elche’ at harvest and during postharvest storage

et al. 2019

BACKGROUND: Previous reports have addressed the effectiveness of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments on maintaining quality properties of pomegranate fruit during storage. However, there is no literature regarding the effects of preharvest MeJA treatments on pomegranate 'Mollar de Elche' crop yield, fruit ripening, quality attributes and bioactive compounds content (at harvest or after long-term storage), which were evaluated in this research. RESULTS: PreharvestMeJA treatments (1, 5, and 10 mmol L -1 ) increased pomegranate crop yield. MeJA at 1 and 5 mmol L -1 accelerated the on-tree ripening process, while it was delayed with 10 mmol L -1 . Losses in fruit weight, firmness and organic acids during storage at 10 ∘ C were delayed in MeJA treated fruit, leading to quality maintenance. In addition, MeJA treatments improved arils colour due to increased concentration of total and individual anthocyanins, at harvest and during storage. Total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents and total antioxidant activity [hydrophilic (H-TAA) and lipophilic (L-TAA) fractions] were also higher in arils from treated pomegranate fruits than in controls. CONCLUSION: Preharvest treatments with MeJA could be a promising tool to improve pomegranate crop yield, fruit quality and its content in bioactive compounds at harvest and during storage. The higher effects were obtained with MeJA at 5 mmol L -1 dose, which could be the selected treatment for practical application purposes.
