%X Sa£¿etak Fruit samples of ¡®Granada¡¯, ¡®Wonderful¡¯ and ¡®Hicaznar¡¯ cultivars were collected in productive pomegranate orchard in Neretva valley, Metkovi£¿ (Croatia) and their pomological and chemical properties were compared. Significant differences among cultivars were noted between the studied traits. Fruit weight ranged from 429.37 g to 359.43 g and the lowest was recorded in cv. ¡®Hicaznar¡¯. Color of peel, aril and juice of all investigated cultivars was intensively red and dark red, respectively. ¡®Granada¡¯ and ¡®Wonderful¡¯ stood out with high juice yield compared with ¡®Hicaznar¡¯. Total soluble solid (TSS) of ¡®Hicaznar¡¯ (18.61%) was higher than that of ¡®Wonderful¡¯ (16.64%). Total acidity (TA) significantly differed among cultivars and ranged from 1.6% to 2.1%. According to the TSS/TA ratio investigated cultivars belong to the group of sour-sweet cultivars. Dissimilarity between cultivars was found in the phenolics content (TPC). It ranged from 679.6 to 906.6 mg/100 g D.W. where ¡®Hicaznar¡¯ stood out as a cultivar with highest TPC and also highest flavonoid and non-flavonoid content (521.1 mg/100 g D.W. and 385.5 mg/100 g D.W., respectively). In ¡®Granada¡¯ antioxidant activity measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl was recorded for 64.1%, in ¡®Wonderful¡¯ 70.2% and the highest in ¡®Hicaznar¡¯ (74.5%). Results of this assessment are the basis for practical determination of the pomegranate use
