Additional author: Emma Moore, Department of Food Science & Technology. Satsuma oranges are a fast-growing commodity in Georgia. Satsumas are natural and excellent sources of sugars, organic acids, soluble fibers, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and essential oils. Because of their nutritional content, satsuma oranges are considered functional foods (foods that provide health benefits and essential nutrition). Novel products may be produced from satsuma oranges and satsuma peels, including food ingredients such as soluble fibers and essential oils that may be appealing to health-conscious consumers interested in including more plant-based ingredients into their diets. Fresh satsuma oranges have a short shelf-life. This publication describes the nutrients found in satsuma oranges and opportunities to develop high-value food ingredients from satsuma oranges. This information is timely and may help the local citrus industry diversify its current product portfolio. It also describes essential food safety concepts that may improve the overall competitiveness of the Georgia citrus industry.
