Abstract
This study investigated the dietary fiber content change, including WSP, HP, TP, SDF, IDF, TDF, NDF, ADF, CEL, HC and Lignin, in Robertson Navel orange fruit. The changes of all above were measured in fruit from Mingshan and Ya’an in Sichuan Province, P.R. China. The results showed that the content of WSP increased with the development and maturation of the orange fruit; the HP, TP and HC contents were reached the highest level during the period of greatest increase in bulk, dropped during the yellow color stage and then increased during the maturation stage. SDF, IDF, TDF, NDF and ADF contents increased until the 100 days after flowering and then decreased. There fore, CEL and Lignin content trends were similar to the pectin content trend but lower in quantity. Navel oranges can be an important source of dietary fiber.
