Pomegranates fruits (P. granatum cv.Wonderful) of uniform size
and appearance were washed and manually peeled, by separating
and weighting the four components: arils (83.2 13.4 g/100 g),
endocarp, mesocarp (14.2 2.6 g/100 g) and epicarp (2.6 0.7 g/
100 g). Then, the fruit components were manually mixed in
different proportions, as reported in Table 1, on the basis of the
relative content of components and previous cleaning tests on industrial
plant
