		Pummelo (Citrus grandis), a primary Citrus species, is reportedly one of the three species (in addition to sour orange and Poncirus trifoliata) that accumulate neohesperidosyl glycosides (Albach and Redman 1969).
		Naringin is the major flavanone component in pummelo cultivars examined in this study, except in the 'Red Fleshed' pummelo, where the concentration of neoeriocitrin roughly equals that of naringin.
		Using thin-layer chromatography, Albach and Redman (1969) detected naringin and neohesperidin in pummelo and narirutin–4'–glucoside, hesperidin, naringin, poncerin, and neohesperidin in a pummelo × sweet orange cross.
