“…When juices are prepared from Citrus tissues, LARL is chemically converted into limonin under the produced acidic conditions, generating the so called "delayed bitterness". It can be prevented by limonoate dehydrogenase, an enzyme described in different bacterial species and orange fruit tissues, that irreversibly converts LARL into its dehydro form, thus avoiding limonin production (Hasegawa et al, 1972, 1974a, 1974b, 1976, Hasegawa and King, 1983, Hasegawa and Maier, 1990. Additionally, an enzyme catalyzing the reversible conversion of LARL into limonin was isolated from Citrus seeds .…”
