    Author: Türkmen I, Ekşi A.
    Journal: Food Chem; 2011 Aug 01; 127(3):1404-7. PubMed ID: 25214145.
    Abstract:
    With regard to 45 pomegranate fruits from different regions and several domestic varieties, fruit weight was found to be 137.1-738.2g, peel share 34.4-73.1%, aril share 26.9-65.6% and fruit juice yield 19.2-48.0%. Brix degree of pomegranate juice samples obtained from the aforementioned fruits changed from 12.2 to 17.8 and was lower than 14.0 in approximately 18% of the samples. Titratable acidity of pomegranate juice samples varied between 2.4 and 30g/L and the formol number varied between 4.0 and 20.0. The sorbitol/xylitol content ranged between 16 and 423mg/L, mostly lying between 51 and 200mg/L with a frequency of 64%. The share of samples containing sorbitol/xylitol higher than 250g/L is 7%.
