Determination of bioactive compounds in Punica Granatum seeds using solvent extraction.
[Student Project]
(Unpublished)
Abstract
The potent pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) seeds are expected waste from the pomegranate juice industry as well as in domestic use. The seeds oil holds tremendous potential in having bioactive components that are useful for medicinal purposes. The evaluation of solvent extraction using different solvents in Soxhlet apparatus showed that the highest amount of pomegranate seeds oil (PSO) yield was recorded by n-hexane (25.25%) followed by acetone (14.31%) and methanol (13.79%). The qualitative identification of bioactive constituents of obtained oil was carried out by Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) technique.
