Mandarin is a group name for a class of oranges with thin, loose peel, which have been dubbed "kid-glove" oranges. These are treated as members of a distinct species, Citrus reticulata Blanco. The name "tangerine" could be applied as an alternate name to the whole group, but in the trade, is usually confined to the types with red- orange skin. The fruit is oblate, the peel bright-orange or red-orange when ripe, loose, separating easily from the segments. Seeds are small pointed at one end, green inside.
The Mandarin Juice Concentrate is a natural product obtained by partly evaporating the water from the freshly squeezed juice of naturally matured sound and clean mandarins. The juice is pasturised and then immediately concentrated and frozen in order to guarantee perfect preservation. It contains no artificial sweeteners or other additives.
