Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Variations in Quality of Marsh Grapefruit
The flavor of each fruit is of vital concern since fresh grapefruit is usually con sumed in the form of individual whole' fruit or halves. Grapefruit must be mature accord ing to existing standards for color, volume of juice, total soluble solids, acid, and solids to-acid ratio, under the Florida Citrus Code of 1949 as amended, before it can be shipped in commercial channels. The maturity test is based on the analysis of a 5-fruit sample; however, testing of individual fruit is permitted. The ultimate criterion for approval of internal quality of any fruit is its acceptance by the consumer If internal quality of fruit vary sufficiently that some sour or bitter-tasting grapefruit are shipped, the consumer's buying habits can be adversely affected.
