The results declared that roselle calyces extract includes the highest values of phytochemical compounds such as anthocyanin, total phenol, total flavonoid content, total tannic and acidity in comparison with pomegranate juice and pomegranate concentrate. These values were 321.50, 2007.72, 1336.33, 243.10 mg/100 g and 11.42% as citric acid respectively.
