new terms / synonyms for citrus terms

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Dear Adriana,

I did browse the literature and see that citrus community do call the 
Albedo equivalent to mesocarp. If so I would take your word.

Whereas for Endocarp being pulp, is not very clear. Seems that there is 
a very thin layer of endocarp (innermost epidermis) may/may not be 
visible in the developed fruit.

The  citation at 
http://www.chineseplantscience.com/earticle_read.asp?id=12171
refers that juice sac is a multicellular structure that develops from 
the innermost epidermis of the carpel which I see is equivalent to 
endocarp. This means that juice sac being a derivation cannot be 
referred as endocarp. If you can confirm isn't the pulp equivalent to 
juice sac.

Based on this can you provide us a definition of 'juice sac'.
