The carpels are juicy; they contain a high quantity of citric acid, which with other organic acids including ascorbic acid (vitamin C) give them their characteristic sharp taste. [30] Citrus fruits are diverse in size and shape, as well as in color and flavor, reflecting their biochemistry; [ 31 ] [ 32 ] for instance, grapefruit is made bitter ...
Acids are broken down in ripening fruits [12] and this contributes to the sweeter rather than sharp tastes associated with unripe fruits. In some fruits such as guava, there is a steady decrease in vitamin C as the fruit ripens. [13] This is mainly as a result of the general decrease in acid content that occurs when a fruit ripens. [9]

[1] There are several species of citrus trees whose fruits are called limes, including the Key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), Persian lime, kaffir lime, finger lime, blood lime, and desert lime.
A raw common guava is 81% water, 14% carbohydrates, 3% protein, and 0.5% fat (table). In a reference amount of 100 grams (3.5 oz), raw guava supplies 68 calories and is a rich source of dietary fiber and vitamin C (275% of the Daily Value, DV), with moderate levels of folic acid (12% DV) and potassium (14% DV, table). Raw guava contains ...

Citric acid is an organic compound with the formula H O C(CO 2 H)(CH 2 CO 2 H) 2. [10] It is a colorless weak organic acid. [10] It occurs naturally in citrus fruits.In biochemistry, it is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.
Merriam-Webster defines "fruit" as "the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant." Most often, these seed plants are sweet and enjoyed as dessert (think berries and melons), but some ...
