Advances in research on sugars,organic acids and their effects on taste of fruits

In fruits,soluble sugars and organic acids are both important nutritional ingredients and impor-tant taste materials. Composition and content level of soluble sugars and organic acids are key factors tothe taste of fruits. Research on sugars,organic acids and their effects on taste of fruits were reviewed inthis paper,mainly including soluble sugars and organic acids in fruits,the effects of soluble sugars andorganic acids on taste of fruits,and the taste changes of fruits during storage. Meanwhile,it was pointedout that the research should be expanded and deepened in aspects such as the coverage of varieties,eval-uation indexes of taste,and variety classification based on taste and the composition of sugars and organicacids.
