Xylitol candies offer numerous health benefits such as preventing cavities and obesity. However, a preference for them tends to be low due to their distinctive flavor. In this study, we developed xylitol candies containing mature yuja peel (MYP-C), i...
Citrus is one of the most important fruit crops in the world. Citrus junos Siebold ex Tanaka cv. Pujiang Xiangcheng is a new rootstock with a good grafting affinity and multiple abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, the effects of ‘Pujiang X...
Huanglongbing (HLB) is an obstinate disease in the citrus industry. No resistant citrus resources were currently available, but various degrees of Huanglongbing tolerance exist in different germplasm. Citrus junos is emerging as one of the popular ro...
Nano-carriers and dried gels were prepared to prevent the inherent flavor of Yuja (Citrus junos Tanaka) from rapidly deteriorating. The properties and stability of volatile components of Yuja dried gels were compared by using colloidal systems (nanoe...
Grafting is a technique that is widely used in citrus production. Graft incompatibility often occurs in the orchard. Inarching can effectively improve the vigor of incompatible grafts, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. Our previous studies...
Estimating the fruit size is an important factor because it directly influences size-specific yield estimation, which would be useful for pricing in the market. In this paper, it was considered a method of constructing models for estimating the propo...
Side streams and byproducts of food are established sources of natural ingredients in cosmetics. In the present study, we obtained upcycled low-molecular-weight anionic peptides (LMAPs) using byproducts of the post-yuzu-juicing process by employing a...
Microorganisms respond to changes in habitat resources by regulating their community structure. However, the variation in characteristics of microbial communities in soils with citrus cultivating for different durations remains unclear. We investigat...
Protected cultivation is a cultivation practice that plays an important role in improving crop quality. Aroma is an important flavour that assesses the quality of yuzu. In this study, C. junos cv. ‘Kitou’ grown in open fields (CJKTF) and...
Polyploidy modifies metabolic profiles and transcriptional regulation of biosynthetic pathways. Citrus tetraploids are characterized by dwarf growth and increased leaf biomass. Citrus leaves are valuable resources for essential oils and natural food...
Citrus fruits have been a commercially important crop for thousands of years. In addition, Citrus essential oils are valuable in the perfume, food, and beverage industries, and have also enjoyed use as aromatherapy and medicinal agents. This review s...
