Word for fruit defect？

 

is there a professional jargon for this kind of marks on an orange? The dent is not at the top or bottom that each orange has, but in the middle of the fruit. It's not deep enough to reach the pulp. Trade (talk) 04:23, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This Orange Defects and Blemishes Glossary calls it "scarring". (At least, I think this is what we see; the sections "Symptoms and Signs" in this glosssary are not informative.)  ‑‑Lambiam 08:07, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
