This study was conducted in gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometers (GC-MS) / Department of Environment and Water / Ministry of Science and Technology during 2019. To determine the concentration and percentage of active chemical compounds in the ethanol extract of pomegranate seeds and seeds (Punic granatum L.) Salami variety In Iraq using GC-MS gas chromatography. The study showed that the ethanol content of pomegranate shells contained 28 chemical compounds, As recorded 2H-Pyran-2-one, Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester showed the highest ratios, respectively, As for The compound 1,12-Bis (2-nítrophenoxy) dodecane was the lowest ratio of 0.02%,The results showed that the ethanol content of pomegranate seeds contained 33 chemical compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, 4-fluorobenzyl alcohol, and the highest concentrations were respectively, and record the compound 1-ethyl-2-hydroxy methyl imidazole had the lowest ratio of 0.08. Proved GC-MS analysis of pomegranate peel and seeds demonstrated the presence of many compounds including phenol such as 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-di hydroxy-6-methyl-, 4-Mercaptophenol, and Terpenes such as Octalcane, Nonacosane and Carboxylic acids such as Acetic acid and fatty acids such as Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid Ethyl ester and esters such as Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid and other compounds. This means that the Salami variety pomegranate cultivated in Iraq is effective against many diseases and can be used for medical purposes.
