The First Edition of this book was published 20 years ago. On an international level, it is still well used by both citrus packers, growers and students. The many changes in citrus industries around the world are found in this book. New subjects are included in this second edition of Fresh Citrus Fruits, such as Food Safety Program, and Organic Fresh Fruit. Likewise, much of the material under old chapter headings has been updated or is completely new.Color plates have been added to the book for the identification of postharvest diseases, physiological disorders, citrus canker and Mediterranean Fruit Fly. Also, a fruit color-add test is illustrated as a color plate. Having these color illustrations in the book will aid readers in identifying problems.The presence of Citrus Canker in Florida and Australia made the Plant Pest Regulations a difficult chapter to complete. Likewise, the Pesticide Tolerances chapter addresses a constantly changing subject. In these and other chapters the reader will find Internet addresses which can provide continually updated information.

Citrus is the main fruit tree crop in the world and, therefore, has a tremendous economical, social and cultural impact in our society. Citrus fruits provide a wide variety of important nutrients in the human diet; including Vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, folic acid, pectin, potassium, and dietary fibre. This book presents current research data in the study of citrus fruits, including such topics as the post-harvest preservation of fresh citrus fruits; citrus fruits and metabolic syndrome; the control of citrus cracking or pitting; the chemical composition, general uses and pharmacological properties of Citrus aurantium (bitter orange) and the robotic harvesting of citrus fruit.

Quality is a composite term encompassing many characteristics of foods. These include color, aroma, texture, general nutrition, shelf-life, stability, and possible presence of undesirable constituents. Obviously deterioration of quality may lead to changes in the attributes that characterize the food in its fresh or freshly processed state. In addition, quality enhancement of products may be carried out using appropriate processing techniques. Interaction of different components present with one another could have a profound effect on sensory quality of products. Meanwhile, presence of extraneous matter such as pesticides and debris may also contribute to a compromise in the quality of foods. In addition, processing often brings about changes in many attributes of food including its nutritional value. Thus, examination of process-induced changes in food products is important. In this book, a cursory account of quality attributes of fresh and processed foods is provided. The book is of interest to food scientists, nutritionists and biochemists in academia, government and industry.

The quantity of fresh citrus fruit shipped annually is nearly equivalent to the total amount of all deciduous fruits shipped. In some respects the shipment of citrus is the more difficult, because the citrus production areas are usually more distant from the market centers. Florida, Califrnia, and Texas produce most of the citrus, but deciduous fruits are produced throughout the United States. The longn trip involvedin marketing citrus fruits requires careful handling in the packing inthe packinghouse to insure good condition on arrival. In an average season, appreciable quantities of the citrus fruit shipped to market arelost through decay. Rough handling, improper degreening, and other practices increase the amount of decay. Through proper handling and packing, this loss can be reduced and the appearance of the fruit improved so that it appeals more strongly to buyers and consumers. Fruit sales, like grocery sales, must be on a repeat basis if they are to be profitable. The purpose of this bulletin is to point out and explain the best handling and packing methods in the hope that a better product may be marketed.
