FIGURE 3.

Fruit internal appearance (A) and total tocopherol (B), α-tocopherol (C), and γ-tocopherol content (D) in the pulp during fruit maturation of grapefruit (C. paradisi), lemon (C. limon), sweet orange (C. sinensis), and mandarin (C. clementine). Contents are expressed as μg g^{– 1} of fresh weight. The data are mean ± SE of at least two replicates (Supplementary Table 10). Maturation stages correspond to immature green (IG), mature green (MG), breaker (Br), and mature (M). Different letters indicate significant mean differences among maturation stages for each fruit specie (Tukey’s test, p ≤ 0.05).
