He focused his research on the biochemistry of citrus fruits, and among many other achievements his work was used to develop
the legal standards for marketing in the California citrus industry. He is also known for his monographs on citrus, which
became standard reference materials for the study of fruits like the lemon, orange, and grapefruit.
He was a Professor Emeritus in Biochemistry at UC Riverside, and served as Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry until
his retirement in 1968.
This collection contains research articles written and co-written by Walton B. Sinclair, mostly regarding the biochemistry
