Summary

Storage of Marsh White Seedless grapefruits for 2 weeks at 5 deg C resulted in the development of chilling injury. In contrast to electrolyte leakage, respiration and ethylene evolution were significantly higher in chilled than in nonchilled fruits, even before the onset of visual symptoms of chilling injury. Results of this study indicate that electrolyte leakage does not increase until visible pitting of the flavedo has occurred, whereas stimulation of respiration and ethylene evolution occurs early in the development of chilling injury.
