P
omegranate is one of the expensive fruit due to its short harvest season. Therefore, adulterated pomegranate juice, mixed
with other chief fruit juice, can lead economic benefit to Food Company. In order to distinguish pure pomegranate juice
with its adulterated juice, the major components of pomegranate juice were analyzed together with grape and peach juices
mainly used for manufacturing the adulterated pomegranate juice. Organic acids, polyphenols and flavonoids were analyzed
using HPLC and LC-MS/MS. Malic acid and citric acid were selected as major organic compounds to evaluate purity of
pomegranate juice and tartaric acid was chosen for grape juice. Commercial pomegranate and peach juice products were
collected in domestic markets and polyphenol and flavonoids were compared after LC-MS/MS metabolomic research. The
difference in major metabolites between pure pomegranate juice groups and other juice groups were clearly found through
principal component analysis (PCA). The OPLS-DA (S-plot and VIP-plot) was used to identify metabolites exhibiting
significant differences between pomegranate and peach and 47 metabolites were identified in this study. Among them, five
flavonoids can be selected as indicators to compare pure pomegranate juice with adulterated pomegranate juice. This study
offers analytical method to evaluate the adulteration of pomegranate juice with other fruit juices.
