Development of rapid and non-destructive technique for the determination of maturity indices of pomelo fruit (Citrus grandis)

Ultrasound aided debittering of bitter variety of citrus fruit juice: Effect on chemical, volatile profile and antioxidative potential

“…It has been reported that bitterness may create problems during the storage of extracted juice due to the presence of naringin, nomilin, hesperidin, nobiletin, tangeretin, and limonin. However, naringin is responsible for prime bitterness, whereas limonin is responsible for delayed bitterness [40] , [43] , [61] . Previous studies have shown that the presence of these bitter chemicals causes decreased acceptance, economic loss, and quality degradation [28] .…”

Nutritional and volatile profiles of pulp and flavedo from four local pummelo cultivars grown in Fujian province of China

“…Here, the SSC/TA ratios ranged from 11.33 in SJY to 17.77 in GXB, although no significant differences in SSC and TA were observed among the four pummelo genotypes (Table 2). Pummelo fruits typically exhibit TSS/TA ratios varying from 10.31 to 20 (Gupta et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2023). GXB trees, widely cultivated in Fujian and other subtropical regions of China, are renowned for their superior fruit quality and taste (Wei, He, et al., 2021), primarily attributed to their high fruit SSC/TA ratios.…”

“…Taking into account that the BrimA index correlates well with the flavour characteristics of fruit and vegetables, it can be used as a better indicator than the traditional sugar-to-acidity ratio (Ikegaya et al, 2019). This index is used as an indicator of the maturity and sweetness of fruit and vegetables and their suitability for long-term storage (Gupta et al, 2021). The authors point to the prospects of using the BrimA index in the food industry and horticulture.…”
