Excessively high temperatures frequently occur between spring and late fall because of global warming. These problems have a negative effect on fruit production capacity and actual production. However, there is a lack of information on the effects of excessively high temperatures (exceeding the optimum range) on the growth of citrus fruits. Thus, the objective of this present study was to determine the effects of excessively high temperatures on Shiranuhi mandarin fruit growth, physiological characteristics, amino acid contents, and antioxidant activity. In this study, five different high-temperature treatments were applied: normal atmospheric temperature (Con), Con + 4 °C during the day (D4), Con + 8 °C during the day (D8), Con + 4 °C during the night (N4), and Con + 4 °C during the day and night (DN4). The total soluble sugar contents were lowest in D8, and the acid content under DN4 was significantly lower than that under Con. Rising temperature during the day or night affected the colouration of the rind, and the free sugar composition ratio under D8 was lower than those under the other treatments. The total amino acid content tended to increase with increasing temperature during the day. The total flavonoid and total phenolic contents in the peel were significantly higher under Con and N4 than the other treatments and in the pulp under Con.
