Abstract:
Physical and chemical properties of pomegranate fruits are very important for understanding the behavior necessary for design of equipment’s for harvesting, processing, transportation, separating and packing. Keeping all above facts in view, the present project work was planned to study the physical properties of pomegranate and to study the chemical properties of pomegranate In this study some physical and chemical properties such as moisture content, weight of fruit, weight of arils and peels, volume of fruit, specific gravity, overall dimensions (length, width and thickness), consumable matter, inconsumable matter and TSS, pH value, ascorbic acid etc. was determined and results are78.95%, 204.54 gm, 129.12 gm and 75.38 gm, 242 cm³, 0.844 gm/cm³,7.07 cm, 6.79 cm and 6.75 cm, 63.10%, 38.8%, 15.7^o Brix, 3.5, 11.4 respectively.
