Abstract
ABSTRACTThe concentrations of limonoid glucosides in orange molasses, a byproduct of citrus juice processing, were measured. The 17‐β‐D‐gluco‐pyranoside derivatives (glucosides) of limonin, nomilin, nomilinic acid and obacunone were present and quantified. Orange molasses contained an average of 568 ppm of total limonoid glucosides at 11.8°Brix. Orange molasses (3.8L) contained up to 12.5g of total limonoid glucosides. The molasses could be used as a source for commercial isolation of citrus limonoid glucosides.
