“…Recently, pomegranate has established itself as a functional food of increasing interest, both economically and within the scientific community, which has generated a significant increase in publications focused mainly on its characteristics, benefits, and nutritional composition (Melgarejo et al, 2020). Indeed, pomegranate is a species of great importance for not only the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries but also for the traditional medicine, it is regarded as "a Pharmacy unto itself" in Ayurveda which specifically uses it to treat infections, inflammations and fungal diseases.…”

Description of the subject. In the Messaad region, in central Algeria, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the main fruit crops in agricultural systems after apricot. Objectives. To explore cultivar diversity, a study of the morphological variability of pomegranate fruits and seeds was carried out on the fruits of seven pomegranate cultivars; Khadraye KH1, Hamraye HM1, Senin Alouj SL1 from Messaad orchards, AM2 (Amourah) from Amourah orchards, Khadraye KH3, Mezabi MZ3, Senin Alouj SL3 from Zaccar orchards. Method. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), a principal Component Analysis (PCA) followed by an Ascending Hierarchical Classification (AHC) based on quantitative morphological parameters are used. Results. The results show similarities between classes according to which four main classes were grouped. The first class C1 consists of two cultivars (KH1 and SL1 of Messaad), while the second class C2 consists of one cultivar, HM1of Messaad. The third class C3 consists of the very characteristic Romane Amourah (AM2) and the fourth and last class C4 includes all cultivars of the third station of Zaccar. The evaluation of the qualitative characteristics of color and taste of the fruit by a panel of amateur tasters reveals significant dissimilarities and similarities. Conclusions. The results presented in this work clearly justify the variability and its interest in the preservation, exploitation and valorization of this genetic material, and for improving cultivated varieties of pomegranate that show appreciable economic performances.

“…Punica granatum (pomegranate) has spread to most parts of the world, including Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean countries (Melgarejo et al., 2020 ). Pomegranate contains a large percentage of water and is rich in vitamin C and polyphenols such as anthocyanins, punicalagin, ellagic, and gallic acids.…”

“…O preparo das amostras para as análises foi realizado pela separação das sementes e da casca, de forma manual, em ambiente sem luz. A polpa (sarcotesta) (Melgarejo et al, 2020) foi extraída pela pressão realizada com auxílio de um rolo de massa sobre as sementes. As amostras da casca e polpa de romã foram congeladas em nitrogênio líquido imediatamente após separação e mantidas em freezer com temperatura de -20° C até o momento das análises.…”

A romã é conhecida por seus efeitos benéficos a saúde, principalmente por suas propriedades antioxidantes e é amplamente cultivada em diferentes regiões do mundo, o que reflete na grande diversidade de composição dos frutos. Desta forma o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar as características físicas, físico-químicas, bioquímicos e composição centesimal da romã cv. Comum cultivada no Oeste Paulista. Os frutos utilizados foram colhidos no estádio de maturação comercial, no município de Alvares Machado, região de Presidente Prudente, estado de São Paulo e avaliados quando ao peso, firmeza, coloração, pH, sólidos solúveis (SS), acidez titulável (AT), Ratio (SS/AT), compostos fenólicos totais, atividade antioxidante por DPPH, antocianina monomérica total, composição mineral, umidade, cinzas, proteínas, lipídeos, fibras, açúcares redutores e valor calórico total. Os frutos de romã cv. Comum apresentaram a casca de coloração laranja e polpa (sarcotesta) vermelho-violeta. O potássio (K) foi o macronutriente predominante na casca e na polpa. A polpa apresentou alto teor de sólidos solúveis e baixo teor de acidez titulável, caracterizando sabor adocicado. A casca apresentou maior teor de compostos fenólicos totais e atividade antioxidante em relação a polpa. A polpa apresentou maior valor calórico total.
