Storage & Handling
Cultivar-specific research identifies chilling risk in Oroblanco; generic grapefruit or pummelo numbers are not a validated substitute.
Storage Notes: Porat et al. found substantial chilling damage during prolonged continuous storage at 2°C. An 11°C comparison and special warming treatments were studied; these experimental regimes are not universal optimum-storage or shelf-life recommendations.
Research evidence only
Source: Porat et al. (2003): Oroblanco cold-storage study.
Applies to: Oroblanco citrus fruit in the cited storage experiment.
A commercial protocol still needs confirmation for harvest maturity, treatments, packaging and marketing requirements.
No optimum temperature, RH, sharp chilling threshold or shelf-life guarantee is inferred from trial treatments.
