Reading the bitterness

A study in Vietnam on using cam sành peel for marmalade set removing the peel's bitterness as its problem. When the peel was blanched for 2 minutes in a 100 ppm sodium hydroxide solution and then left to soak for 1 hour, naringin, which is involved in bitterness, fell from 16.58 to 3.70 mg% per dry matter. However, this is the amount of naringin, not a measured bitterness score. The abstract of another study writes that among 4 market grades, the peel of the rugged-skinned fruit had the most naringin, but it gives no figures.

A study on soft-drying cam sành also names the bitterness of processed orange products as one of the major problems. Its abstract says it compared 5 chemicals, pretreatment methods, and chemical concentrations (0–200 ppm), and that blanching in a 150 ppm NaOH solution lowered naringin from 18.75 to 2.11 mg/100g. Only the abstract could be read, and from it one cannot tell whether peel or flesh was used, or whether bitterness itself was scored. No material showing the amount of limonoids in the peel, or how the peel is eaten locally, was found within the range searched.

Composition and content (1)

Sanh orange peel is documented as having Among 4 market grades (grade 1, grade 2, bumpy fruit (cam xù), and small fruit), naringin was highest in the peel of the bumpy fruitpreliminary

Scope: Layer: food. The abstract of 1 study comparing cam sành from Vinh Long province

Note: No values are given in the abstract. Bitterness was not evaluated. The full text was not read.

Fruits of 4 market grades (grade 1, grade 2, bumpy fruit (cam xù), and small fruit) were compared, and peel naringin was highest in the peel of the bumpy fruit.
Limitations: Only the abstract was read. No naringin values are given in the abstract. Bitterness was not evaluated.

How processing and cooking change it (1)

Sanh orange peel is reduced by alkaline citrus-peel debitteringsupported

Scope: An experiment in which peel was blanched for 2 minutes in 100 ppm NaOH, then soaked in the same solution for 1 hour

Note: A measured decrease in naringin. This is not a recommendation for household alkaline treatment.

After blanching for 2 minutes in 100 ppm NaOH followed by 1 hour of soaking, peel naringin fell from 16.58 to 3.70 mg% on a dry-matter basis (mg%CBK) (the abstract writes mg/100 g, omitting that it is per dry matter). This is a decrease in the amount of naringin, not a sensory value for bitterness.
Limitations: These are controlled conditions for alkaline food processing; household use is not recommended.
