Extraction of phenolic composition and quantification of the total phenolic of pomegranate pomace

In this study total phenolics of pomegranate pomace were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total phenolics of the pomegranate pomace were extracted with aqueous ethanol (80 % v/v) using a pomace-to-solvent ratio of 1:4 (w/v).Total phenolic content of pomegranate pomace was 9.58 mg tannic acid equivalent/g. pomegranate pomace extract was rich in total phenolic content showed its potential for antioxidant activity and could be further evaluated as dietary supplements.
