Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Transportation of grapefruit to oversea markets presents problems similar to those encountered in refrigerated storage. The most important problem is selection of proper temperatures for the 2- to 4-week export transit period for fruit shipped at various maturities from early fall to late spring. This report summarizes the results of simulated export studies conducted at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Horticultural Field Station, Orlando, Fla., and test shipments of Florida grapefruit to West Germany in 1961-62, 1962-63, and 1963-64 seasons. An observer accompanied the test shipments. The objective was to determine optimum environments for reduction of spoilage and maintenance of quality of fruit exported for the European market
