Citric acid and energy

Eric Kvaalen: You provided the following edit to the Nutrition section: In the table to the right, the citric acid is included in the "carbohydrates" (even though it is not a carbohydrate), but it has a lower contribution to the food energy than true carbohydrates such as sugars.^[1] This is taken into consideration in the energy value given.

While I respect your analytical critique of this issue for lemon, as well as for tomato, I question its encyclopedic value because it creates more confusion than clarification, and to me, is a point of questionable importance. Let's keep in mind we are writing for a lay encyclopedia user per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, #6-8. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Zefr Well, I think it's an interesting point. I don't see why we need to protect people from interesting facts. Citric acid is like a partially oxidized carbohydrate, which means it has less energy left to give and more mass (per carbon). There are many foods for which the USDA database puts a considerable amount of more-or-less undigestible "fibre" into the "carbohydrate" category, but lemons are probably the only food for which the database puts a large quantity of a non-carbohydrate into the "carbohydrate" category. (There are foods for which most of the "carbohydrate" is lactic acid, but lactic acid could be considered a carbohydrate since its formula is C₃(H
₂O)₃.)

Growing Lemons

What information do you think is appropriate for Wikipedia? Wikipedia is not intended to be a "how to" info source, but since lemons are grown, both commercially and at home, surely a few basic points should be summarized here. I thought the minimum temperature was an obvious start, but actually I question the RHS figure I quoted, even though I would usually consider RHS to be a reliable source. I would say reasonably mature lemons can tolerate right down to 0 Centigrade in sheltered conditions. IceDragon64 (talk) 15:16, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest finding more WP:RS sources to back up any horticulture statements. --Zefr (talk) 15:36, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Concentrated Lemon Juice

We are a group of undergraduate students from a food & nutrition course at the University of British Columbia. We want to contribute information about "lemon juice" to Wikipedia. We were wondering whether we could add our research under Section 4.1 "Juice" of the "Lemon" Wikipedia page, or create a separate "Lemon Juice" page, which we would link to the current "Lemon" page. Thank you.

Topic: Lemon Juice.

Questions: - How is lemon juice extracted from the lemon? - What is the difference between lemon juice vs. concentrated lemon juice? - What are the methods of food processing (preservation, packaging, and distribution)? - Uses of concentrated lemon juice. - Nutritional value of concentrated lemon juice.
