Values are means ± SE of triplicate determinations. Means in the same column and followed by different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. RI = Refractive index (25 °C), YI = Yellowness index, K232 = Conjugated dienes, K270 = Conjugated trienes, TCC = Total carotenoids content (mg β-carotene/100 g PSO), TPC = Total phenolic content (mg GAE/g PSO), DPPH = 2.2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (mmol Trolox/g PSO), GAE = Gallic acid equivalence, PSO = Pomegranate seed oil.
