Pomegranate variety properties are important not only to demonstrate their diversity but also to satisfy the current market need for high-quality fruits. This study aims to characterize pomological and physico-chemical features as well as the antioxidant capacity of Moroccan local cultivars (Djeibi, Mersi, Sefri 1 and Sefri 2) compared to the imported ones (Mollar de Elche and Hicaz). The pomological characteristics of varieties were relatively diverse. The juice varieties (PJ) displayed a marketed variability in organoleptic and quality properties, such as the flavor, juice yield, and micro/macronutrients contents. Interrelationships among the analyzed properties and PJ varieties were investigated by principal component analysis (PCA). Dimension of the data set was reduced to two components by PCA accounting for 64.53% of the variability observed. The rinds varieties (PR) were studied for their total phenolics, flavonoids, and condensed tannins quantifications. PR varieties extracts exhibited different levels of free radical scavenging activity and local varieties revealed a greater potential with stability over time. The HPLC-DAD analyses of PR extracts revealed (+) catechin as the major compound, where the highest content was found for the local varieties. The SEC analysis showed the molecular weight distribution of phenolic compounds with a high size of condensed tannins formed by the polymerization of the catechin monomer. Given these properties, this research provides an easy selection of high-quality fruits as potential candidates for local market needs.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Pectolytic enzymes act differently on the degradation of the cell wall of grape skin and on the libération of tannins. PG and PL degrade the pectin from the middle lamella and the primary wall which favours the liberation of granulate tannins present inside the vacuole only ones. Cellulase degrade the cellulose fibbers and allows the liberation of tannins bound to the cellular wall. These last ones being bound to cellulosic molecules.</p>

The bacteria are often put in issue in the case of food poisoning and the extensive use of antibacterial chemicals in the medication led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains. Essential oils of medicinal and aromatic plants can be used as an alternative for the treatment of infectious diseases and for the protection of food against any tampering. This study was conducted to examine in Vitro antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Thymus vulgaris and Thymus satureioidis grown in the North-Central of the Morocco, these essential oils are obtained by steam distillation by Clevenger and are tested for pathogenic bacteria: Salmonella sp ., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , responsible for food-borne diseases in the region of Fes. The chemical composition of the essential oils made by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The essential oil of Thymus vulgaris is rich in γ-terpinene (22,25%) and thymol (41,39%). The most abundant chemical compounds in the essential oil of Thymus satureioidis are p-cymene (27,59%) and thymol (14,09%). Two essential oils showed important bactericidal activity on Salmonella sp , Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli .
