Noting that tangerine, which also has seedless species, is a fruit that children love because it can be peeled easily, doctors said, ” Consumption with its seeds obstructs the appendix organ and causes acute appendicitis. For this reason, the seeds should be removed and eaten. ”
Doctors stated that the tangerine was harvested between 11-16 October, when the sugar-acid balance it contains was generally ensured.
” Therefore, the yellowing process is applied as it is generally green. Tangerines are first washed, dried, then exposed to ethylene gas at 26-28 degrees in warehouses and aerated with oxygen. The more ripe the fruit is, the shorter the yellowing process with ethylene. It is 4-5 days for less ripe fruit and 1-2 days for a fruit picked in November. Performing these procedures in accordance with the food codex does not adversely affect human health. When the tangerine is left alone, the chlorophyll on the peel breaks down and turns orange over time.
