Abstract
The effects of freezing and freeze-drying processes on the antioxidant capacity and some phytochemicalcontents as well as the color of pomegranate seeds were evaluated. The fresh pomegranate seeds exhibited highantioxidant activity (79.50% and 3894.73 μmol trolox/100 g dry weight, measured by DPPH and ABTS assays,respectively). The pomegranate seeds had high contents of total anthocyanins (22.80 mg/100 g), total phenolics (633.55mg GAE/100 g) and total flavonoids (593.23 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g). Processing did not significantly affect thecolor attributes of the pomegranate seeds except the hue angle values. Freeze-drying process significantly decreased theantioxidant activity and phytochemicals contents of pomegranate seeds whereas freezing process had less negativeeffect. The total anthocyanins, total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of pomegranate seeds well correlated withtheir antioxidant capacity. The best correlations were between the total anthocyanins content with DPPH radicalscavenging activity (R2= 0.9652) and ABTS•+ scavenging capacity (0.9752) values.
