Abstract
The chemical composition of pomegranate juice in
terms of organic acids, sugars, vitamin C, total
phenolics, catechins and anthocynanins from two
Macedonian varieties “Karamustafa” and “Hicaz”
was first objective of this study. Furthermore,
morphological and physical characteristics of
pomegranate fruits from autochthonous
“Karamustafa” and “Hicaz” variety were compared.
The level of the anthocyanins was significantly higher
to “Hicaz” pomegranate variety and it was in good
correlation to the results of hue and color of the juice.
The most statistically significant difference was
obtained for ascorbic acid which was four time higher
for freshly squeezed juice from “Hicaz” pomegranate
variety. In addition, the variation of chemical
composition of elements of fruit juices from both
variety could be attributed to the difference in cultivar.
Finally, the last objective of our study was
antibacterial activity of peel extracts from both
varieties. The strong antibacterial activity against
Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) was significant
without statistical differences between both varieties.
