Abstract
Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) consists of high polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly conjugated type, punicic acid (9 cis, 11 trans, 13 cis, 18:3, 65-80) . Due to the high unsaturation, PSO exhibits desirable nutritional and medical properties due to the presence of many bioactive components such as phenols, flavonoids, ellagitannins, and anthocyanidin 1) . PSO has many beneficial health impacts because antioxidants reduce diabetes, lower blood pressure, decrease obesity, improve heart problems, ameliorate skin, and alleviate rheumatic arthritis problems, etc. t, PSO is readily oxidized by temperature, light, oxygen, and moisture 1) .
