The chromatogram resulting from the analysis of handmade
juice from pomegranate arils showed two high response peaks
appearing at 10.11 and 11.44 min. Evaluating the UV–VIS spectrum
of these peaks, we tentatively identified the peak at 11.44 min as
cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside (kmax 517, 279 nm), but were unable to
assign an identity to the other peak (10.11 min, kmax 265 nm).
Analysis of the chromatogram at 510 nm (data not shown) also revealed
the presence of other anthocyanins, but additional efforts to
identify these compounds were not undertaken because it was
outside of the scope of our current objectives. Most reports found
