Citrus nutrient composition

Nutrient composition. The nutritional quality of dried citrus pulp may be affected by processing conditions, particularly dehydration temperatures. Pulp dried with dryer exit-stack gas temperatures greater than 143°C shows caramelization or browning. Ammerman et al. (6J and Chapman et al. ( 7) have shown that a... 

NUTRITIONAL VALUE. The fruit and juice of the sour orange are rarely consumed alone, but are usually mixed with other citrus products. Hence, data on the nutrient composition of this fruit are not readily available. However, it might be expected to be similar to the sweet orange in its content of potassium, vitamin C, and bioflavonoids. 

The energy-supplying nutrients are generally carbohydrates, protein and fat. While citrus products provide little protein and fat, their contribution of carbohydrate is an essential part of the nutritive value of citrus. The proximate composition of several kinds of citrus fruits (8) are shown in Table II. Because...
