METHODS
|
| Punicalagins α and β (assay) (as dm: as dry matter)
|
NLT 30% (w/w as dm)
|
BPL-PNT - 5/C (HPLC)*
|
|
Ratio dried plant/native extract (1) (native extract on dry weight basis; considering an average dry weight for pomegranate fruit of 20%)
|
14.6/1
|
1: The native extract ratio corresponds to the ratio between the quantity (as dm) of the part of the plant used and the extract yield from the extraction/ transformation (before addition of any compounds, such as technological additives, carries or dilution matrix)
|
|
Ratio dried plan / final extract (2) (final extract on dry weight basis)
|
14.4/1
|
2: The final extract ratio corresponds to the ratio between the quantity (as dm) of the part plant used and the extracts as commercialised (with technological additives and other food ingredients added)
