Although numerous citrus varieties have recently been developed to enhance their quality, information on their quality characteristics is limited. We assessed the quality characteristics of Yellowball, a novel citrus variety, by evaluating its appearance, storability, sensory properties, functionality, and metabolite profiles and then comparing these characteristics with those of its parent varieties, Haruka and Kiyomi. The metabolite profiles between the citrus varieties differed significantly, resulting in distinct physicochemical and functional qualities. The storability of Yellowball was significantly increased compared with that of its parent varieties owing to its strong antifungal activity and unique peel morphology, including the stoma and albedo layers. While we did not investigate the volatile compounds, overall functional activities, and detailed characteristics of each metabolite, our data provide valuable insights into the relationship between citrus metabolites, peel morphology, physicochemical properties, and storability, and demonstrate the potential of Yellowball as a promising variety in the citrus industry.
尽管最近已培育出许多柑橘品种以提高其品质，但有关其品质特性的信息有限。我们通过评估新型柑橘品种黄球的外观、耐贮性、感官特性、功能特性和代谢物谱，然后将这些特性与其亲本品种春香和清见的特性进行比较，来评估黄球的品质特性。柑橘品种之间的代谢物谱存在显著差异，从而导致不同的理化和功能品质。由于黄球具有较强的抗真菌活性和独特的果皮形态，包括气孔和白皮层，其耐贮性与其亲本品种相比显著提高。虽然我们没有研究挥发性化合物、整体功能活性和每种代谢物的详细特性，但我们的数据为柑橘代谢物、果皮形态、理化性质和耐贮性之间的关系提供了有价值的见解，并证明了黄球作为柑橘产业中一个有前途的品种的潜力。
