Abstract

The chemical properties of pomegranate peel, from the labeled IGP Moroccan cultivar "Sefri d'Ouled Abdellah”, were evaluated. The pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, powder color properties, ash content and dietary fibers were determined. Bioactive contents: total polyphenol content, flavonoids, condensed tannins, and water-soluble tannins were evaluated. The pomegranate peel has important ash content (10%±1) and remarkable dietary fibers (71±6.93%) compared to other fruits. The pomegranate peels contain considerable amounts of total polyphenols content (16.48±2.32 g EGA/100g DM), flavonoids (1.30±0.75 g ER/100g DM), water-soluble tannins (6.03±3.97 g ETA/100g DM), and condensed tannins (0.07± 0.01 g ETA/100 g DM). According to achieved results, pomegranate peel's high total polyphenols content, flavonoids, and tannin content have highlighted the potential of using it as a natural food preservative, nutritional supplement, or therapeutic product.
