How to Get Only Inferred Data from Jena Ontology Model

Question

Trying to list only the knowledge(new triples) by using PelletReasoner through Jena interface. I want only inferred data which is generated after applying the Pallet Reasoner and InfModel from ontology(OWL). Currently, I am listing all the individuals - which contain both asserted and inferred knowledge.

So how can i get only inferred knowledge from owl. Thanx in Advance..

//Inference Logic//

    com.hp.hpl.jena.reasoner.Reasoner reasoner = org.mindswap.pellet.jena.PelletReasonerFactory.theInstance().create();

    Model infModel = ModelFactory.createInfModel(reasoner, ModelFactory.createDefaultModel());

    OntModel model = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(OntModelSpec.OWL_DL_MEM, infModel);

    try
    {
        inputStream = new FileInputStream(OWL_File);
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException p)
    {
        p.printStackTrace();
    }
    model.read(inputStream, null, "RDF/XML");

Here's code that creates a simple OntModel with classes B and A, where B ⊑ A, and i is an individual of type B. We're able to infer, e.g., that i is an instance of A, and we'll see that in the results.

import org.mindswap.pellet.jena.PelletReasonerFactory;

import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntClass;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntModel;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntModelSpec;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.InfModel;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.Model;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.ModelFactory;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.Statement;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.impl.StmtIteratorImpl;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.util.iterator.ExtendedIterator;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.util.iterator.Filter;

public class JustTheDeductionsPlease {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create the base model.  B is a subclass of A, and i is an instance of B.
        String NS = "http://example.org/";
        final OntModel model = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel( OntModelSpec.OWL_DL_MEM );
        OntClass a = model.createClass( NS+"A" );
        OntClass b = model.createClass( NS+"B" );
        a.addSubClass( b );
        model.createIndividual( NS+"i", b );

        // Create the inference model.
        InfModel pModel = ModelFactory.createInfModel( PelletReasonerFactory.theInstance().create(), model);

        // An iterator over the statements of pModel that *aren't* in the base model.
        ExtendedIterator<Statement> stmts = pModel.listStatements().filterDrop( new Filter<Statement>() {
            @Override
            public boolean accept(Statement o) {
                return model.contains( o );
            }
        });

        // For convenient printing, we create a model for the deductions.
        // (If stmts were a StmtIterator, we could add it directly.  It's not,
        // so we end up creating a new StmtIteratorImpl, which is kludgey, but
        // it's more efficient than converting the thing to a list.)
        Model deductions = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel().add( new StmtIteratorImpl( stmts ));
        deductions.write( System.out, "TTL" );
    }
}

The whole output is sort of big, since there are lots purely OWL-based conclusions. The places where we see the purely deduction results most clearly are in the classes and individual that we defined. Notice, for instance, that B is listed as a subclass of itself and of owl:Thing, but not of A (since that was in the original model), and that i has type owl:Thing and A, but not B (since that was in the original model, too):
