Yuzu Juice (Citrus Junos)
Citrus junos fruit juice
Yuzu juice extracted from Citrus junos fruit is an acidic aqueous mixture primarily composed of water, citric acid, sugars, ascorbic acid, and volatile essential oils including limonene and yuzunone. It exhibits a distinctive tart aroma and flavor profile distinct from other citrus juices. The juice contains flavonoids such as hesperidin and naringin contributing to antioxidant properties. pH typically ranges from 2.5 to 3.5. Used extensively in East Asian cuisine for seasoning and beverages. Physical properties are dominated by its high water content with minor organic solutes affecting viscosity and refractive index. No single boiling or melting point applies due to its multicomponent nature.
