Pomegranate acceptability by consumers and processors depends on basically on a combination of several quality attributes such as shape and size (geometrical properties), fruit mass and aril yield (gravimetrical properties), rind and aril color, sugar content, acidity and flavour. This study was conducted to investigate the physical properties (geometrical and gravimetrical properties) and some chemical properties pomegranate fruit and their arils as well as aril colour attributes at four distinct maturity stages between 88 and 143 days after full bloom (DAFB). Chemical properties such as pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), dry weight content (DW) of fruit and aril were studied. Significant (P < 0.05) increase in geometrical properties (except sphericity), some gravimetrical properties (fruit mass, true volume of fruit and aril, arils mass in fruit and bulk density of aril), total soluble solids (TSS), pH and dry weight content of fruit, coupled with significant (P < 0.05) decline in true density of fruit and aril, aril porosity and titratable acidity (TA) as well as dry weight content of aril was observed along the days after full bloom (DAFB). The results also showed that differences at a 5% level of significance were found among the developmental stages in the colour of arils. Furthermore, pearson correlation was used to investigate the relationship between selected attribute associated fruit maturity of the pomegranate cultivar. Interesting significantly strong correlations were observed.

消费者和加工者对石榴的接受度基本上取决于几个质量属性的组合，例如形状和大小（几何特性），果实质量和假种皮产量（重力性质），果皮和假种皮颜色，糖含量，酸度和风味。这项研究的目的是研究石榴果实及其假种皮的物理特性（几何和比重特性）和某些化学特性，以及在盛开后88到143天（DAFB）的四个不同成熟阶段的假种皮颜色属性。研究了水果和假种皮的化学特性，例如pH，总可溶性固形物（TSS），可滴定酸度（TA），干重含量（DW）。显著（P <0.05）的几何特性（球形度除外），某些重量特性（水果质量，水果和假种皮的真实体积，水果中的假种皮质量和假种皮的堆积密度），总可溶性固体（TSS），pH和干重含量的增加果实，伴随着 果实和假种皮的真实密度的显着下降（P <0.05），在盛花后的几天（DAFB）观察到假种皮的孔隙率和可滴定的酸度（TA）以及假种皮的干重含量。结果还表明，假种皮的颜色在发育阶段之间的显着性水平差异为5％。此外，使用梨子相关性来研究石榴品种的所选属性相关的果实成熟度之间的关系。观察到有趣的显着强相关性。
