Orange (Citrus sinensis) is a
citrus fruit and a hybrid of pomelo and mandarin orange. Relative ratio of
sugar and acid determines the taste of the orange and the aroma is governed by
volatile organic compounds like alcohols, ketones, terpenes, esters, etc.
Orange juice is pulpy in nature with a pH of 2.9–4. Orange is a rich source of
vitamin C along with potassium, carotenoids, flavonoids, and other phytoactive
compounds. However, like most of the citrus juices orange contains a huge
amount of pectin (Qaid et al., 2017). Hence, orange being a highly pectinous
fruit is usually depectinized prior to MSP.
Oranges can be used in many ways
and almost all parts of it, including the peel, can be used. But most often
they are consumed without peel, fresh or in the form of juice.

The leaves are alternate, ovate-oblong, acute, shining green, the stalk winged. The blood orange has streaks of red in the fruit, and when squeezed the juice is often reddish. Its red pigment, anthocyanin, is an antioxidant that in rear in the rest of the citrus family. A recently hybridized orange, it was cultivated in china and the southern Mediterranean in the early 18th century. The tree which are widely cultivated today are the Moro, Toracco, and sanguinello.
