The comparison of the physicochemical parameters and antioxidant activity of homemade and commercial pomegranate juices

Abstract: Background. The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has gained a reputation as a fruit with many healthpromoting properties. It is considered to help prevent or treat various disease risk factors including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia and inflammatory activities. It has been demonstrated that certain components of pomegranates, such as polyphenols, have potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic effects. Materials and methods. Five commercially availabl… Show more

“…As expected, total antioxidant activity exhibited a direct correlation with total polyphenol content ( Fig. 1), in agreement with a very recent report (Dżugan et al, 2018). A number of health benefits have been attributed to pomegranates, particularly in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders and certain types of cancer.…”

“…The determination of selected physicochemical parameters has been used to exploit potential adulteration or to classify juices according to their geographical and varietal origin [25,26,27,28,29,30]. Water and sugar addition to juice samples can be revealed through the evaluation of Brix value: A alue below the required specification indicates overdilution of the juice with water while a higher Brix value is indicative of the addition of sugar [25].…”

“…Water and sugar addition to juice samples can be revealed through the evaluation of Brix value: A alue below the required specification indicates overdilution of the juice with water while a higher Brix value is indicative of the addition of sugar [25]. Significant differences in pH, TA and Brix values were reported in different varieties of pomegranate [29] and also between homemade and commercial samples [30]. Homemade pomegranate juices had a low acid content and correspondingly higher pH than commercial juices, as acidity value is known to decrease significantly during fruit ripening.…”
