Summary
Studies on the effects of field and storage temperatures on the development of blossom end clearing (BEC) in Ruby Red and Marsh grapefruits in Florida, USA, indicated that this development was directly associated with temperature. BEC increased when fruit temperature rose above 21 °C. Cooling fruits prior to packingline operations reduced BEC significantly. Older fruits were more susceptible to BEC than younger fruits.
