Popis: Prestorage conditioning of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) at 16°C was better than at 21° and 27° in minimizing chilling injury (Cl) to grapefruit stored at 1°. Fruit preconditioned for 7 days at 16° did not develop Cl during 21 days at 1°. Fruit stored for 28 days at 1° without preconditioning sustained 23% CL Fruit stored for 21 days at 1° after 7 days of preconditioning at either 21° or 27° sustained 11% CI.
