2Morphological and biochemical study for some cultivated pomegranate in latakia region


Abstract in English

The aim of study was to compare the physicochemical and morphological properties of Five pomegranate cultivars grown in different region of latakia. Properties included: fruit fresh weight,number of arils per fruit, peel weight, soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA)vitamin, reducing sugar . Fruit weight ranged from(336.8 -484.77 g), peel weight of the fruit was recorded from 93,84 to 127,85g, juice weight was( 69,33-151,66 g) and reducing sugars ranged between (3.64 -12.4 %). total soluble solid ranged from( 14.5- 16.5) % and titratable acidity ranged between( 0.358- 1.321%)in pomegranate juices.vitamin C content also ranged between 11.5- 14.5 mg\100 ml).
