9781390320060 - Variations in Quality of Marsh Grapefruit (Classic Reprint) de Long, William Gordon (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book reports on a study of physical and chemical differences among individual grapefruit. The author measured weight, diameter, shape, texture, juice content, and levels of soluble solids, acid, and vitamin C in grapefruit harvested at different times of the year. The book examines the interconnections between these measurements. The author found that solids, acid, and vitamin C content were highest in smaller grapefruit, that the amount of juice varied dramatically, and that texture is related to the volume of juice. These relationships may help citrus growers and packers to sort and pack their products more efficiently, as well as to inform consumers.
