my son is allergic to citrus (among other things) & i am trying to find
something to replace lemon/citrus juice & rind in recipes. it is an
important ingredient in so many recipes both savoury & sweet.

any ideas?

There is a great amount of orange juice on the market, that tastes like it
has never seen an orange. So there should be a product out there. And if it
is just for cooking, then finding some of those cheap imitated fruit juices
and have them tested for citrus, could be a possibility.
If your son is severely allergic to citrus, this might not work, but if he
knows what the symptoms are, and he can handle them easy, if there is too
much citrus in the samples, maybe a doctor should be involved in the
testings.
On alot of bars and hotels, their "freshly pressed orange juice" is a powder
they stir in some water. I do not know if this is an imitated orange, or it
is dried orange, but if you have not tried getting that, then try asking at
a hotel or bar in your area.

Australia, so substitutes might not be so common..)

i haven't seen substitutes, but we have "imitation" essences so i will check
those out.
unfortunately, he has severe allergies and all fruit derivatives & traces
are out.
