Orange

ORANGE

 

     Orange fruits (Citrus sinensis) are characterized by a high concentration of ascorbic acid (59.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), but exhibit a relatively limited profile of other vitamins. Among the mineral elements, the following predominate: boron (257.0% DV per 100 g), rubidium (27.0%), lithium (21.0%), silicon (20.0%), potassium (10.1%), vanadium (10.0%), cobalt (10.0%), and copper (9.5%).

 

 

     Oranges are distinguished by their concentration of total phytosterols (44.0% DV), as well as a significant mono- and disaccharide fraction (16.2%), within which glucose serves as the primary sugar (25.0% DV). The nutritional matrix further includes dietary fiber (12.0%) and pectic substances (12.0%). Starch is absent from the composition, while sucrose is present in significant quantities (3.5 g per 100 g).

 

     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 6.7% of the daily allowance.

 

     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 24 mg, representing 6.0% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
