University of California.
The division of fruit products
states that the juice from frozen
oranges is not injurious to health.
1t is pointed out by Farm Advisor
Frank G. Beyschlag that the user
of frozen oranges for juice wants,
however, to use his own judgment
and discretion. After a lapse of
time badly frozen fruit begins to
deteriorate in appearance, texture
and flavor. Obviously the fruit will
not then be desirable for use. AS
long as the inside of the orange
looks and tastes all right it is sat
isfactory for home use for juice
purposes. Regardless of it's pal
pability frozen citrus fruit can not
be satisfactorily shipped as it is
subject to rapid break down with
consequent dissatisfaction to the
consumer.
Regarding other home uses of
frozen citrus fruit it is stated that
If the peel is not brown the fruit
can be used for marmalade or
candied peel. If the fruit juice
flavor is still good the Juice can
be canned Canned juice from
frozen fruit. however, may be sub
ject to more rapid deterioration
than that from uninjured fruit.
Frozen citrus fruit can not be sat
isfactorily used for making fruit
juice concentrates or syrup. The
farm advisor stated, however, that
most of these uses offer little COM
mercial possibility as there is no
great outlet for marmalade, candied
citrus peel. or citrus fruit concen-
trates. Circulars on the home
preparation of citrus, jelly. mar
malade and canning of the juice
can be secured from the home dem
onstration agent at the farm adj
visor's office at the court house.
