Storage Notes: Grapefruit develops chilling injury as peel pitting in cold storage and a separate postharvest pitting at warmer temperatures, so temperature control and peel coatings are the key handling points. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016). The handbook also describes 5-8°C transit/storage for promptly cooled, wax-treated fruit; the 12-15°C recommendation is not a universal chilling floor.
