What is a pomelo? A grapefruit?


Before I arrived in China, I had no idea what a pomelo (youzi in Mandarin) was. Once I got here, I saw these big fruits (ranging in size from a large grapefruit to the size of a human head) that looked like a green grapefruit in color and texture. When you buy a pomelo at a fruit stand, the vendor will slice through the thick (2 centimeter) outer peel with a knife, usually in quarters so when you get home, it's easy to peel.

Inside, the pomelo looks much like any othe
r citrus fruit, except the the color of the fruit is pale like uncooked pasta and more pale then grapefruit. It is also much drier and less juicy. I like the taste of pomelos although, usually, I can only get through about half of one, because they are so large. Some people think they are bland. The flavor is mild, not sour like a grapefruit nor as sweet as an orange. But it has it's own distinct mild flavor.

And if you don't like the taste of the fruit, you can always stick the peel on your cat's head for a helmet.
Look how pleased he is about it...

The unique aromatic Chinese grapefruit see love


Chinese grapefruit in the history of our country's culture can be traced back to the BC ZHOU Qin era. Are mainly distributed in China's Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang, Sichuan and other places. Was a strong regional, one of the fruits. With the reform and opening up, Chinese grapefruit from south to north, the seasons continue to become popular by people like fruit. This is not only due to large Chinese grapefruit sweet fruit, sweet and sour taste, it can perhaps be compared to any fruit.

I very much like to eat Chinese grapefruit and Chinese grapefruit why I like this? In addition to just talk about it inside the nutritional content of outside, it is mainly a good aroma components, aromatic components, and these components are aromatic alcohols, synthesis of lipids. A fruit you can attract, or the products after processing to not be able to attract everyone, this is processed we can not avoid the question of which is that you taste better, and then you say how many nutrients there are.

I mainly want to talk about the idea of processing high-quality, high-quality processing in the development of focus or grapefruit juice, because grapefruit juice is to focus on the nutritional essence of Chinese grapefruit and aromatic ingredients are, so the aroma components of our research. There processing of the processing characteristics of species, we is not suitable for mild grapefruit processing, but also on the processing characteristics of this research. For example, suitable acid inappropriate, and this is a very important research is the study of sugar and acid ratio.

In style look inside the focus of bitter components, this makes sense. At the same time, suitable for processing in the study based on the species, let us study how to maximize the preservation of nutrition, health function of processing technology. Do juice, now called the modern processing techniques, including membrane separation technology, like to do. Because the loss of aroma components will be too fast, and we did not after a lot of fruit processing, only the sweet fragrance of the reason for this is that the aroma components destroyed by the enemy, I feel that research in the aromatic component can do some planning and consideration. Now with high-pressure method of sterilization, with the magnetic field sterilization, sterilization by hypoxia, grapefruit I think this will play a very good value-added role.
