Thermal pasteurization decreases the sensory quality of mandarin juice. Flavor composition was determined in four fresh-squeezed and heat-processed mandarin juice varieties using molecular sensory science approaches. The relationships between odorants and sensory profiles were analyzed, and markers for flavor deterioration were screened by multivariate statistical analysis. Seventy-four volatiles were identified, among which 36 odorants with flavor dilution factors ranging from 2 to 128 were detected by multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry (MDGC-MS/O) coupled with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Higher intensities of cooked and off-flavor notes were observed in the heated mandarin juice, which was related to the concentration changes of the methional, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, and carbon disulfide by partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Ten potential markers (methional, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, β-damascenone, camphene, trans-β-ionone, decanal, d-limonene, and α-pinene) were responsible for the sensory discrimination of fresh-squeezed and heated mandarin juices.

Mandarin, one of the winter fruits commonly used in the preparation of foods and juices, is a fruit native to China and Southeast Asia. In this work, essential oils (EOs) obtained from by-products of the Blanco flavedo of five cultivars present and cultivated within the Botanical Garden of Palermo were chemically and biologically studied: 'Avana' (), 'Tardivo di Ciaculli' (), 'Bombajensis' (), 'Aurantifolia' (), and 'Padre Bernardino' (). The GC and GC-MS analysis performed on all the extracted samples clearly highlighted the notable presence of limonene, a characteristic hydrocarbon monoterpene of EOs of the genus.

Article Synopsis
  • - Huanglongbing disease (HLB) is a serious threat to the 'Kinnow' mandarin in Pakistan, caused by a bacterial species and spread by the Asian citrus psyllid insect.
  • - The study explored the use of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized from garlic extract to enhance fruit quality and antioxidant defenses in HLB-infected 'Kinnow' plants, finding that a 75 mg/L concentration significantly improved various fruit characteristics and antioxidant enzyme levels.
  • - Proteomics analysis showed that SeNPs affected the expression of proteins related to growth and stress response, indicating that their application can improve the nutritional quality and overall health of HLB-affected mandarin fruit.

Sour rot, caused by , is a significant post-harvest disease in citrus, resulting in economic losses due to the lack of effective fungicides. This study investigates the antifungal activity of citrus essential oils in controlling sour rot in Tahiti acid lime fruits. Essential oils were extracted via hydrodistillation with chemical composition analyzed by CG-MS and tested in vitro and in vivo.

Citrus species have undergone immense diversification ever since their ancestral origin. Ponkan and Murcott are two mandarin varieties widely consumed in Brazil and their aroma producing active compounds have not yet been extensively investigated. The present study analyzed the volatile constituents of the Ponkan and Murcott varieties employing the stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) technique and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the first time.

Manganese dioxide (MnO) nanosheets possess unique physical and chemical properties, making them widely applicable in various fields, such as chemistry and biomedicine. Although MnO nanosheets are produced using bottom-up wet chemistry synthesis methods, their scale is below the gram level and requires a long processing time, restricting their effective scale-up from laboratory to market. We report a facile, green and scalable synthesis of MnO nanosheets by mixing Shiranui mandarin orange juice and KMnO for 30 minutes.
