Quantitative assessment of citric acid in lemon juice, lime juice, and commercially-available fruit juice products

Penniston.et.al- 2008

Relevance :

466 in 2024

Conclusion :

Lemon and lime juice, both from the fresh fruit and from juice concentrates, provide more citric acid per liter than ready-to-consume grapefruit juice, ready-to-consume orange juice, and orange juice squeezed from the fruit. Ready-to-consume lemonade formulations and those requiring mixing with water contain ≤6 times the citric acid, on an ounce-for-ounce basis, of lemon and lime juice.
