Antioxidant activity and phenolic composition in pomegranate (<scp><i>Punica granatum</i></scp> L.) genotypes from south Italy by UHPLC–Orbitrap‐MS approach

Abstract

The UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS approach was employed for the first time to identify the phenolic compound profiling in five pomegranate genotypes. TAA was analysed using an ABTS assay, and the results showed a significant variability in nutraceutical potential of the pomegranate genotypes studied. The inclusion of phenolic information in the linear discriminant analysis allowed very good discriminations among genotypes to be obtained. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
