  • What are pomegranate seeds?
  • Pomegranate seeds are by-products obtained during pomegranate processing (Verardo et al., 2014). The oil contained in pomegranate seeds rich in punicic acid as conjugated fatty acids and ¦Ã-tocopherol. In comparison to commonly used cold pressed oils, the cost of pomegranates is higher.
  • What is pomegranate oil?
  • High-quality oil, which is rich in conjugated fatty acids, is produced from pomegranate seeds; these are a waste product of the pomegranate industry, which also produces juice, concentrate, and jam. The total lipid content of the pomegranate seeds varies between 7.9% and 16%.
  • Does pomegranate seed oil have punicic acid?
  • When different cold press oils are compared in terms of C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:0, and C20:1 fatty acids, punicic acid was found only in pomegranate seed oil. In a study conducted by Gecgel et al. (2016), punicic acid was found at 85.8 g/100 g total fatty acids in the pomegranate seed oil.
  • Why do people eat pomegranate seeds in Pakistan?
  • Its seeds as well as skin are used after grinding for the cure of stomach diseases and it also helps in digestion. In Pakistan, it is still grown as minor fruit on nine thousand hectares with forty thousand tons¡¯ production.

Balochistan is the major producer of pomegranates, although KPK and Punjab are also producing pomegranates in isolated areas on a small scale. Pomegranate is a deciduous shrub with 5 to 8-meter height.
  • Which fatty acid is found in cold pressed pomegranate seed oil?
  • Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analyses showed that punicic acid is the major fatty acid of cold pressed pomegranate seed oil (PSO) with the amount between 55% and 81% (Celenk, Gumus, Ustun Argon, Buyukhelvac?gil, & Karasulu, 2018; Costa et al., 2019).
