Notes:
Grapefruits, tangerines and several orange cultivars were evaluated for total and thermostable pectinesterase (TS-PE) activity. Juices were extracted with a Fresh'n SqueezeTM Multi Fruit Juicer. Variation in total pectinesterase (PE) and TS-PE was not significantly different between cultivars. No significant contribution by traditional quality control parameters (%pulp, °Brix, % acid, pH), to total PE or TS-PE was observed. Positive correlations were observed between TS-PE and total PE, when expressed on a pulp (0.669) or soluble solids (0.624) basis.
