Organic Acids. The most predominate soluble constituents of citrus juice, following the sugars, are the organic acids and their salts. They represent about 10 percent of the total soluble solids in citrus juices. The proper ratios of sugar and the acids and their buffers give the citrus juices their delightful taste. 

Freshness and retardation of color changes associated with senescence are benefits of the treatment (183, 184). Gibberellic acid applied after harvest was also reported to reduce decay of lemons (183), but its primary effect is to retain chlorophyll (183, 185). Total soluble solids, acidity and ascorbic acid were not significantly influenced by 2,4-D (184) or GA (183, 184). 

During handling and shipping grapefruit from South Africa to Europe, percentage juice and rind thickness decreased (34). The percentage of total soluble solids increased and the acid content remained undamaged.

Sawyer (53J included the concentrations of ascorbic and nicotinic acids along with other analytical parameters to detect orange juice adulteration by dilution or addition of peel extracts. He observed that the relation between the total invert sugar to total soluble solids ratio and nicotinic acid became significantly correlated by the dilution of juices with sucrose or partially inverted sucrose. 

Disadvantages of RO come from its inability to reach the high concentration of juices typically obtained by evaporation, because of osmotic-pressure limitation. As a consequence concentrations larger than 25-30° Brix total soluble solid content (TSS) cannot be reached with a single-stage RO [25]. 

The nutritional composition of ripe edible aril indicates that mangosteen contains a high percentage of carbohydrates, mostly in sugar form. It is relatively low in minerals and vitamins. The calcium and phosphorus content is high. The percentage of total soluble solids ranges from 13 to 15.2% in immature and 18.3 to 19% in mature fruits (Table 19.2). 

Filter a testing solution prepared from tannin extracts from the raw or spent materials on a standard filter paper. Pipette 50 ml of the filtrate to a preweighed beaker with stopper. Dry the testing solution overnight in a forced-air oven at 100 2 °C. Cool the beaker with the stopper in a desiccator. Weigh the beaker containing the solid residue. The solid residue converted to each litre of the filtrate is defined as the total soluble solids of the testing solution (g 1 ). 

The boron content in natural waters depends on the hydrochemical composition and the content of total soluble solids (TSS). There is a direct relationship between content of total water-soluble solids and B content (Table 14). 

The quality and sanitation of candied fruits were inspected in seventy two samples randomly obtained from supermarkets, grocery stores and traditional markets in Taiwan. Water contents were found to range from 11 % to 56 %, Aw values were from 0.54 to 0.89, total soluble solids from 25 to 85 %, acidity from 0.3 % to 3.5 %, and pH from 2.5 to 4.3. Their benzoate contents was found to be from 0 to 3.55 g/kg, sorbate from 0 to 0.41 g/kg, and saccharin from 0 to 11.6 g/kg.

Total Soluble Solids Determination. The puree (50 g) was centrifuged at 3,500 r.p.m for 10 min. The total soluble solids (expressed as degrees Brix) of the supernatant was measured using an ABBE Refractometer maintained at 20°C and calibrated against pure water. 

In the following discussion the commonly accepted parameter total soluble solids (TSS) has been chosen as an indicator of fhiit maturity even though it is not an absolutely reliable indicator of fhiit quality. The changes in concentration of TSS were correlated with changes in concentrations of other components measured, to ascertain how these relate to the development and ripening process.
