| 摘要 | [Objectives] To comparatively evaluate the quality differences between green (before color turning) and ripe (fully mature) fruits of three Citrus reticulata cultivars: Gonggan, “Shatang” mandarin, and Orah. [Methods] Fruit quality was systematically assessed across three dimensions: External morphology, internal flavor attributes, and nutritional-functional components. Two external appearance indices and three internal quality indicators were determined. [Results] Gonggan and Orah fruits exhibited significantly larger size than those of the “Shatang” mandarin. During the transition from green to ripe stages, the total soluble solids content of Gonggan and Orah was slightly higher than that of “Shatang” mandarin fruit. In green fruits, Orah exhibited the highest titratable acidity (TA), while “Shatang” mandarin had the highest TA content in ripe fruits. Regarding nutritional composition, Gonggan had the highest ascorbic acid content in green fruits, while Orah demonstrated the highest ascorbic acid content at full maturity. [Conclusions] the quality changes of the three varieties not only conform to the general rules of citrus fruit ripening but also exhibit significant variety specificity. Differentiated industrial strategies can be formulated based on the quality characteristics of different varieties. |
