| Vitamin C (mg/L) | 6.13 | 10.17 | |
| Total polyphenolics (mg GAE/L) | 475.90 | 2504.74 | |
| Monogalloyl glucoside | Punicalins | ||
| Gallic acid | Punicalagins | ||
| OH-Benzoic acid hexoside | Ellagic acid | ||
| Dihydrophaseic acid | Chlorogenic acid | ||

| Body weight changes (g) | 84.36 ± 7.70 | 42.75 ± 3.02* | 51.51 ± 4.26* |
| Food intake (g/day)a | 8.73 ± 0.28 | 125% | 130% |
| Beverage intake (ml/day)a | 91.24 ± 0.99 | 92% | 89% |
| Intake of polyphenols/rat (mg GAE) | 39.98 | 204.06 |
Values are the mean ± SEM (n=10 per group). Food intake measured as the mean (± SEM) weight (g) of food intake per 48 hour period at 8 weeks. Beverage intake was calculated as the mean (± SEM) volume (ml) of beverage consumed for the whole study. Caloric intake was calculated on the basis of 3 kcal/g of pellet and 0.612 kcal/ml of juice.
