The long-term responses of trees to elevated CO2 are especially crucial (1) to mitigating the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase, (2) to determining the character of future forested natural ecosystems and their spread across the landscape, and (3) to determining the productivity of future agricultural tree crops. Therefore, a long-term CO2-enrichment experiment on sour orange trees was started in...

studies had shown that oxygenated compounds were important in food products. It seems that Citrus species had a profound influence on this factor. The goal of the present study was to investigate on flavor components of two Citrus species. In the early week of June 2012, about 500 g of leaves were collected from many parts of the same trees. Leaf components were extracted using water distillati...

Sour oranges (Citrus aurantium L.) are well known in the processing and cosmetics industries for aromatic properties of their essential oils. Intercultivar genetic diversity is not documented. The objective this study was to evaluate impact morphological selection mechanisms varietal diversification (mutation or hybridization) on odor variability sour orange Forty-five accessions from INRAE-CIR...

Fifteen collaborating laboratories were sent 9 samples of citrus juice mixtures as blind duplicates for determination of naringin and neohesperidin by liquid chromatography. Two sample pairs were 100% orange juice and did not contain any naringin or neohesperidin. The remaining 7 sample pairs contained naringin at levels ranging from 3.9 to 46.5 ppm and neohesperidin at levels ranging from 0.14...

effect of different ratios of sucrose to fruit concentrate (orange and sour cherry), level of cacl2 (0-2%) and storage time (0-90 days) on physicochemical properties of candied apples were investigated using of a combined design. different quality indices such as total sugars content, ascorbic acid, color attribute (chroma) and overall acceptance were modeled and then multiobjective optimizatio...

sour orange is one of native fruits of iran, which are widely used in the food industry, medicine and cosmetics. sour orange peel is rich source of pectin and generally discarded as waste. in this research, response surface methodology (rsm) with box–behnken design was employed to optimize and to study the effects of the independent variables (temperature, time and ph) on the yield of pectin an...
