Pomegranate tree crop in the south of Alicante province is traditional and its characterized by presenting a very wide genetic diversity. Management can be considered, as in other farms, as conventional or organic. Specifically, Mollar pomegranate cultivar is a product safeguarded by 'Granada Mollar de Elche' / 'Granada de Elche' Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and, despite the existence of a list of specific conditions for this PDO, they remain without specifying in this regulation many of the physico-chemical and functional properties that characterize this cultivar and that determine its high quality. Therefore, an experimental study has been performed in Mollar de Elche pomegranate within the project ‘Study of the influence of agroecosystems and conventional and ecological management on the qualitative characteristics of the production of the Mollar de Elche pomegranate’ (2019/VALORIZA/VSC/016) with the aim of valuing this product and characterizing the different parameters that influence its quality. For this, homogeneous samples from 10 plots located in the geographical area of PDO have been characterized and the components that determine the organoleptic or sensory quality and that promote the consumer at decision time to buy the fruit in the market have been studied, such as: firmness, external and internal colour, total soluble solids (TSS), total acidity (TA) and individual organic acid and sugar content, responsible for the characteristic sweetness of this cultivar. In addition, respiration rate has been determined, as well as the content of bioactive compounds and fruit antioxidant capacity, carrying out a physico-chemical and functional characterization at different harvesting dates during the growing cycle. The results showed that this pomegranate cultivar is characterized by showing a low respiration rate compared to other cultivars, firmness values between 22 and 28 N mm-1, a minimum TSS content of 14 g of sucrose 100 g-1, as well as a TA range between 0.25 and 0.40 g of malic acid 100 g-1. Glucose and fructose proportion was similar for this cultivar, while the main organic acid was malic acid. Finally, the internal colour of the arils was the only parameter that presented significant differences between the different harvesting dates, not observing this effect for the external colour. With regard to bioactive compounds, Mollar pomegranate has a high content of polyphenols and total anthocyanins that provide it with a high hydrophilic total antioxidant activity. In conclusion, this work provides a characterization of parameters that were not contemplated in the specifications for this PDO and that would allow its updating. Future test lines are recommended to compare the results obtained between different years, including the effect of environmental conditions as a study factor.
