In this research work, the juice of pomegranate, Punica granatum L., Myanmar name Tha-le which evokes various therapeutic effects, was selected for qualitative and quantitative determination of total phenolic and flavonoid content. The fruits of pomegranate were collected from Taw-ma Village, Kyaukse Township, Mandalay Region in Myanmar. Firstly, the seeds of fresh pomegranate were crushed to obtain the expressed juice which is the liquid product. This expressed juice was checked for qualitative tests of phenol and flavonoid. In addition, total phenolic content of the juice of pomegranate was evaluated by the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent using UV spectrophotometer (UV-1800, SHIMADZU, UV spectrophotometer) at 765 nm. Moreover, the total flavonoid content of pomegranate was determined by the Aluminium chloride (AlCl3) method using same spectrophotometer at 415 nm.
