Methods for Reducing Acidity in Citrus Fruit

PRO-GEN® (arsanilic acid or P-G) has been shown to reduce acidity of Florida grapefruit as effectively as lead arsenate. A series of experiments in the 1987-88 citrus fruit sea son reconfirmed that P-G was effective for this use with con centrations of 600-1500 ppm. P-G is water soluble. However, deliberate attempts to wash it off immediately following spray application reduced its effectivenes...

Floral Nutrients and Citrus Fruit Quality

Identification and characterization of volatile components of the Japanese sour citrus fruit Citrus nagato-yuzukichi Tanaka.

A total of 39 aroma compounds were detected in the essential oil of Citrus nagato-yuzukichi Tanaka (nagato-yuzukichi) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil was characterized by a high percentage of monoterpene hydrocarbons (12 components, 90.52%). The composition pattern of essential oil in C. nagato-yuzukichi was fairly similar to that of Citrus sudachi Hort. ex Sh...

Anticancer and health protective properties of citrus fruit components.

Accumulated evidence from experimental and epidemiological studies indicates that there is a low risk of degenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cataract, stroke and, in particular, cancers in people with a high intake of fruit and vegetables. This protective effect is assumed to be associated mainly with the antioxidant activities of either individual or interacting bioact...
