The seeds of ten pomegranate (punica granatum L.) cultivars were analyzed for their physicochemical and oil properties. Also mineral elements such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mg, Na and K were determined by ICP atomic emmision spectroscopy. The highest quantities of mineral belonged to Mg, K and Na. Also, the quantities of ash and protein in pomegranate seeds were 1.81-2.35 % and 6.63- 12.95 %, respectively. The average contents of refractometer, unsaponifiable, saponification, iodine, peroxide, acidity, moisture and volatile matter were the ranges 1.50-1.51, 1.16-1.63, 181.3-187.9 mgKOH/g, 165-179.4, 0.3-0.7 meqO2/kg oil, 0.25-0.4 % and 0.10-0.19 %, respectively.
