Green Analytical Approach: Determination of Polyphenols and Mineral Content in Pomegranate Peel Using ICP-MS, UV-Vis, and HPLC/LC-MS.

Pomegranate peel is a natural considerable agro-industrial waste with high polyphenolics and essential minerals which can be used as functional ingredients. This work also suggests the green analytical approach comprising natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) coupled with UAE for effective recovery of polyphenols from pomegranate peel along with ICP-MS for multi-element mineral profiling and UV-Vis for total phenolic/flavonoid content and antioxidant activity.
