PROCESS FOR PROMOTING ACIDITY REDUCTION OF CITRUS FRUIT

摘要

PURPOSE:To promote the decrease in acidity of a citrus fruit, by irradiating the fruit with light having a specific wavelength range and/or specific energy level. CONSTITUTION:Stored citrus fruits are irradiated with light having a wavelength of about =600nm, or light having a wavelength of about =550nm and an energy level of =3.3nE/cm2, preferably =4.0nE/cm2, or light having an energy level of =4.0nE/cm2, preferably =4.5nE/cm2.
