Orange juice - odd phrasing

A full glass of orange juice will supply about enough naringenin to achieve a concentration of about 0.5 micromoles per liter. There are speculations that, given more time at a lower concentration, it could have similar effects.

I am not sure I understand this. What is meant by 'given more time at a lower concentration'. What is given more time; and given more time to do what ?

yeah that is an odd thing to say. Sounds like they are just saying if you keep drinking small amounts over the day, or over the week that the concentration may build up in the blood Zarkme (talk) 00:37, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

How bitter

This article says it is bitter but Naringin is converted to Naringenin to debitter juices - so is Naringenin [much?] less bitter than naringen ? Can we quantify the bitterness ? eg minimum concentration detectable by 50% of people ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Same source implies it is found in Drynaria (basket fern) rhizome. - Rod57 (talk) 12:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
