Abstract
Mature oranges and grapefruit have a considerably higher conc. of total soluble solids in their stylar than in their stem halves; immature ones may have equal amts. in both halves or may have the higher conc. in the stem halves. The conc. of total soluble solids in the whole segments (carpels) may differ greatly, especially if the fruit is mature. Of 130 outside fruits tested, 87% had a higher conc. of total soluble solids in their 3 north than in their 3 south segments. The total conc. of soluble solids is not influenced by the size of the segment. The total soluble-solids content of expressed citrus fruit juice appears to be a reliable index to the temp. at which such fruit will freeze.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
