Pomegranate juice has gained much popularity mainly because of its health benefits; however, are you completely sure that when you pick up a bottle of juice from a store you are really getting a real pomegranate juice with all its antioxidants and full flavor? This is important especially because usually you are paying a high price for this juice. Pure pomegranate juices and blends (grape, apple, orange, etc.) with other fruits from around the world are under analysis using GC-MS to find a “volatile fingerprint” that allow us to discriminate which products really contain what it is promised in their labels and which ones are just promising much more than they are claiming. Artificial pomegranate aromas being used in the food industry are also being analyzed to find out which are the compounds being intentionally added to juices to pretend they have the unique flavor of fresh pomegranates.
