Three Indian pomegranate varieties with different physiological properties have been studied for their phytochemistry and ascorbic acid content. Local varieties of Punicagranatum L.namelyBhagwa, Ganesha andMridula were selected for analysis. The three parts of pomegranate viz. exocarp, mesocarp and seeds were separately processed as methanol extractions for various phytochemicals and HPLC analysis for Vitamin-C content. Flavonoids were found absent in the seeds of three varieties, whereas they were present in the exocarp and mesocarp of the same. On other hand, tannins were present in the seeds and absent in the exocarp and mesocarp of all varieties. Phycobilins were absent in all parts of Ganesha and mesocarp of Mridula. Out of all varieties, the mesocarp of Ganesha has high content of ascorbic acid with an area of 90.14% with a TP content of 4784.9?g/mg and TF content of 1.6364?g/mg. Out of three varieties, exocarp, mesocarp and seeds of Ganesha resulted with more ascorbic acid content.
