Article Synopsis
- Citrus fruit is recognized as a superfood with significant nutritional benefits, and this study aims to conduct a comprehensive quality assessment of various citrus cultivars to enhance sustainable production and use.
- The research involved analyzing nine different citrus fruits for their morphological, juice properties, and mineral content in the peel, pulp, and seeds, while also evaluating their overall fruit quality index using two different methods.
- Results revealed considerable variations in quality characteristics among cultivars, with Ningmeng fruits exhibiting high vitamin C but low total soluble solids, while Jinju fruits displayed the highest total soluble solids and phenolic content, leading to distinct groupings of the fruits based on quality parameters.
