Problems in Sensory Evaluation of Citrus Products

Quality of Florida‐Packed Retail Grapefruit Juices as Determined by Consumer Sensory Panels and Chemical and Physical Analyses

“…Panelists thus apparently perceived bitter compounds both as bitterness and as tartness or lack of sweetness. This association of bitterness and tartness in citrus juice is not new (Fellers 1980;.…”

“…Florida requirements include all of the above and, in addition, minimum percent total soluble solids of raw juice, minimum percent citric acid, and maximums for the content of the naturally occurring bitter compounds limonin and naringin. (Attaway, 1977;Dougherty and Fisher, 1977;Ting and McAllister, 1977;Huggart et al, 1979;Fellers, 1980;Barros et al, 1983). The program, which is still active, was designed to improve the marketability of fresh and processed grapefruit products.…”

Effect of extraction method on quality of orange juice: hand‐squeezed, commercial‐fresh squeezed and processed

“…The major component of peel oil is limonene, which contributes very little to the juice aroma but is a diluent for other flavors 30. Fellers39 reported that a level of peel oil in excess of about 150 µg mL −1 limonene added an undesirable flavor to orange juice, and a peel oil level above 0.02% could contribute to bitter flavor and a burning sensation in the mouth. In this research, the FCJ/FCPJ contained more limonene than PPJ, although the content was higher than 250 µg mL −1 in all treatments.…”

Sensory Flavor Characteristics of Water‐Extracted Soluble Orange Solids Produced in Florida

“…Effect on flavor of WESOS addition to commercial retail FCOJ Fellers (1980) has stated that "orange pulpwash can contribute significantly to the bitterness and harshness (roughness) of orange juice to which it has been added." Three tests in the present study were set up to determine just how much WESOS addition affected average-flavored Florida commercial FCOJ.…”

“…The quantity of WESOS produced in Florida has been significant ever since 1957 when a disastrous freeze caused a shortage of orange solids and, thereby, a large increase in its price. Recent Florida freezes in 1977, 1980, 1981and 1983 have kept interest in WESOS high. Production of WESOS in Florida for the 1977-78 through 1981-82 seasons, respectively, in thousands of pounds solids were: 33,414;40,514;48,054;38,648;and 24,218 (Dougherty, 1983).…”
