DISTRIBUTION PATTERN OF BITTERING PRINCIPLES IN KINNOW FRUIT

Analysis of different parts of kinnow fruit indicated that the naringi n content was the highest (0.422 mg/g) in peel, followed by juice (0.2 30 mg/nil) and seed (0.134, mg/g). In contrast. the highest limonin co ntent was found in seed (9.52 mg/g), followed by peel (4.69 mg/g) and juice (0.218 mg/ml). The juice stored at 25-degrees-C developed full b itterness at 4 h as against the time of 7 h for juice stored at 12.5-d egrees-C.
