SC - period lime use

[Daniel Phelps]

Does anyone know when the use of lime juice to prevent scurvy became a
common practice in the English Navy?  If it is a period practice, any
evidence as to how the limes were preserved/stored and presented in an
acceptable form for consumption would be appreciated.
