Abstract
AbstractThis paper discusses the citrus industry's potential role in environmental pollution and steps it is taking to combat any undesirable effects. Where pertinent, grove cultural practices and the fresh fruit packing and processing segments of the industry are analyzed.The Florida citrus processing industry has made considerable strides in pollution abatement procedures. It is a leader in the utilization of food wastes and has been active in this field since the early 1900's. A striking example of potential pollutants converted to industrial profits is the large number of by‐products now in commercial production and in various stages of research and development.This recycling plus some use of beneficial insects to control pests, revised fertilization, water usage, heating and processing procedures make the citrus industry of Florida one of the few industries with such a high potential for complete raw product utilization while holding its pollution contribution to acceptable levels.
