Variety traits
Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck
For oranges, the concept of maturity groups is replaced by harvest maturity categories and objective maturity indices, as the fruit is non-climacteric and does not ripen after harvest.
In the reference 53 varieties crop Sweet orange, where this is mentioned in the description.
Orange cultivars are classified into early, mid-season, and late categories, which determine genetically programmed harvest times. Since the fruit does not ripen after being removed from the tree, the determination of readiness is based on objective quality parameters such as the Citrus Color Index (CCI), minimum juice content, and juice chemical composition.
Key maturity criteria include Total Soluble Solids (TSS) measured in degrees Brix and Titratable Acidity (TA). The consumer maturity index is calculated as the TSS/TA ratio. Determining these indicators is essential for planning supply logistics, as premature or delayed harvesting critically reduces flavor quality and shelf life.
