9780282917715: A Preliminary Study of the Forced Curing of Lemons as Practiced in California

Synopsis

This book delves into the forced curing of lemons as practiced in California, a method designed to accelerate the natural coloring process of the fruit. The author investigates the factors influencing the success of this treatment, such as temperature, humidity, and the presence of gaseous products from combustion. Through a series of experiments, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of these gaseous products in coloring lemons rapidly, even in the absence of high temperature and humidity. This challenges the long-held belief that these factors are indispensable for successful forced curing. The book offers valuable insights into the physiological changes occurring in lemons during this process and explores the practical implications of these findings for the citrus industry. By unraveling the underlying mechanisms, this book advances our understanding of lemon curing and provides practical guidance for optimizing the technique.
