Abstract:Using differential centrifugation, natural highly colored orange pigment granules were recovered from the juices of single lots of Florida Dancy tangerines harvested in each of 4 years, and orange/red pigment granules from two lots of Murcotts harvested during a single year.

Color was significantly enhanced in poorly colored commercial orange juices through addition of relatively small amount… Show more
