Fresh juice was produced using a juicer (SUPOR SJ30, Shanghai, China) for use in the determination of SSC and TA. SSC was analyzed using a sugar refractometer (Atago PR-101R, Tokyo, Japan) [16 (link)]. TA was measured using an automatic titrator (794 Basic Titrino, Metrohm, Switzerland) and expressed as % citric acid [17 (link)]. pH was determined with a PHS-3E meter (Shanghai Leici Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) [18 (link)]. MI values were calculated as the SSC/TA ratio.
