Mandarin Orange Pudding Cake
Mandarin Orange Pudding Cake A variation on the Lemon Pudding Cake in The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook, with directions reworded a little by me. Ingredients: 1 tbsp. grated mandarin orange zest (from about 6 small mandarin oranges) 2/3 c. + 1 tbsp. sugar 1/4 c. flour 1 c. milk 1/4 c. mandarin orange juice (from some of the mandarin oranges you zested) 2 tbsp. lemon juice (from about 1 lemon) 1/4 c. cream 3 tbsp. butter, melted and then cooled 3 eggs, separated 1/4 tsp. salt whipped cream, fresh mandarin oranges or other fruit, and mint for serving (optional) Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8 square pan and find a larger pan big enough for the square pan to sit in. Bring a kettle of water up to boil, or boil water in a pot (about half the water you'd use for a pound of pasta). In the meantime, combine the mandarin orange zest and 2/3 c. of the sugar. Using the back of a spoon, smoosh the zest into the sugar. Whisk in the flour, milk, mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, cream, melted butter and egg yolks until smooth. In a different bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they're foamy. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mandarin orange mixture by placing the egg whites in the mandarin orange bowl and repeatedly scooping the mixture over the egg whites. -
Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail. -
Chemical Variability of Peel and Leaf Essential Oils in the Citrus Subgenus Papeda (Swingle) and Few Relatives

However, little is known about the potentially large and novel aromatic diversity contained in these wild citruses. In this study, we characterized and compared the essential oils obtained from peels and leaves from representatives of both Papeda groups, and three related hybrids. Using a combination of GC, GC-MS, and 13C-NMR spectrometry, we identified a total of 60 compounds in peel oils (PO), and 76 compounds in leaf oils (LO). Limonene was the major component in almost all citrus PO, except for C. micrantha and C. hystrix, where β-pinene dominated (around 35%). LO composition was more variable, with different Citation: Baccati, C.; Gibernau, M.; major compounds among almost all samples, except for two citrus pairs: C. -

Model Profile of 1.0 Ha Citrus Cultivation
Model Profile of 1.0 ha Citrus cultivation 1. Introduction Citrus is native to a large area, which extends from Himalayan foot hills of northeast India to north- central China, the Philippines in east and Burma, Thailand, Indonesia and New Caledonia in Southeast. In India, in terms of area under cultivation, citrus is the third largest fruit crop after Banana and Mango. The average yield of citrus fruits in India is alarmingly low (8.8 t/ha) compared to other developed countries like Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil and USA (22-35 t/ha). Among mandarins, Nagpur mandarin (Central India), Kinnow mandarin (North–West India), Coorg mandarin (South India) and Khasi mandarin (North-East India) are the commercial cultivars of India. Whereas, Mosambi (Maharashtra), Sathgudi (Andhra Pradesh) and Malta and Jaffa (Punjab) are the sweet orange cultivars traditionally grown. 2. Scope for Citrus Cultivation and its National Importance Citrus cultivation in India is plagued with various problems due to limiting growing conditions, limiting water resources and high incidence of pests and diseases warranting great care from planting till the plants come to bearing in order to sustain a productive life of a minimum of 15-20 years. There is growing interest/awareness among the citrus growers for adoption of latest technologies for commercial cultivation of citrus. The National Research Centre (NRC) for Citrus (ICAR), Nagpur has come out with the package of practices for citrus cultivation in different regions of the country. In the present bankable project on citrus, recommendations of the NRC for Citrus and the views of the citrus growers and their experience has been taken into consideration. -
