Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to analyze and comparison of various nutritional fact of pomegranate juice extract and pomegranate packed juice sample. We have studied various physico-chemical parameters and found result such as pH (2.96 – 4.09), conductivity (0.109 – 0.949 MS/cm), TSS (13 – 17.5 %), acidity, (0.0052 – 0.158 g/100ml), vitamin C (0.077 – 0.158%), crude fiber (3.01 – 5.33 %), sodium (15.9 – 21.8 mg/100ml), potassium (17.89 – 90.5 mg/100ml), calcium (3.2 – 81.6 mg/100ml), iron (0.088 – 0.767 mg/100ml) etc. We used very cost effective different chemical and instrumental method for analysis. Study shows that, the pomegranate fruit juice extract was found good amount and significant values of various nutrition values less acidic, TSS, crude fiber, ash. Minerals demonstrate various health benefits and result obtained our study shows that, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron are significant amount in fruit juice extract (diluted). While sodium found lower in fruit juice sample than packed juice. Lower value of sodium is good for health.
