color that occurred during storage of the packs of canned grapefruit sections collected from plant A during the 1953-54 season, it was decided to obtain samples from two other plants during the following season in order to confirm such results. However, when this was done, the data obtained, as shown in Tables 2 and 3, indicated that the differences found after storage at 90 °F. for six months ...

‘Aliza’ is a new pomelo × mandarin hybrid (Citrus maxima, cv. Red Chandler Citrus reticulata, Ora) developed by the Israeli citrus breeding program at Volcani Institute. Here, we aimed to characterize quality and flavor of fruit as compared other commercial fruit, specifically (C. maxima), grapefruit paradisi), orange sinensis) reticulata). fruits have similar size grapefruits, but thinner peel...
