Fruits from pomegranate varieties Mollar and Wonderfull were
used in this study. Second quality pomegranate fruits harvested in
autumn of 2013 were washed in cold tap water and drained. Then
pomegranates were cut in halves and the outer leathery skin was
removed. The arils were manually separated from the pith, placed
inside a nylon mesh and pressed with a laboratory pilot press
(Zumonat C-40; Somatic AMD, Valencia, Spain) as described by
Vegara, Mena et al. (2013). The extracted cloudy juice contained
2% pulp. Varietal juices were mixed in a ratio of 60:40 v/v
(coupage).
