Abstract:

Pomegranate seed oil (POS) was extracted with petroleum ether oil under the assistance of ultrasonic. Its fatty acid composition was analyzed by GC-MS and its biological and physical properties were also measured. POS was determined to contain 6 fatty acids, among which, the relative content of octadecanoic acid was the highest, 71.538%. From the Schaal oven test results, the antioxidant effect of POS was better than that of VE. POS had excellent DPPH scavenging activity and the scavenging rate was up to 80.61%. In addition, PSO might provide a promising rigidity agent for paint production due to its excellent drying performance.

Key words: pomegranate seed oil, ultrasonic, GC-MS, antioxidation, drying
