Variety traits
Citrus reticulata Blanco
The acidity of mandarin fruits is determined by the concentration of citric acid and is a key indicator of maturity and quality. Optimal flavor is achieved when the sugar-acid ratio reaches a range of 12 to 30.
In the reference 18 varieties crop Mandarin orange, where this is mentioned in the description.
The titratable acidity of a mandarin reflects the content of free organic acids, primarily citric acid, and is measured in percent. During fruit ripening, the acidity level naturally decreases, while the sugar concentration increases. In the subtropical conditions of Russia, average titratable acidity values range from 1.23% to 1.49%.
Product quality is assessed using the sugar-acid ratio, which represents the relationship between sugar content and acid concentration. Values below the 12–30 range typically indicate under-ripeness or specific varietal characteristics. Monitoring this balance allows for the determination of optimal harvest times, as fruits with high acidity maintain better quality during transportation but require subsequent ripening.
