Grapefruits (cultivars Marsh Seedless and Redblush) were harvested in May and Nov., respectively, and stored at 7, 10, 13 or 20 deg C for 10 weeks. CO2 and ethylene production increased with temperature in a non-climacteric manner. At the beginning of storage, respiration rates in Marsh Seedless fruits ranged from 2 ml CO2 kg-1 h-1 at 7 deg to 12 ml CO2 kg-1 h-1 at 20 deg . The comparative figures for Redblush fruits were 4.4 and 15.3 ml CO2 kg-1 h-1, respectively. Ethylene production ranged from 0.02 to 0.08 micro litre kg-1 h-1 at 7 deg and 20 deg , respectively, for Marsh Seedless. The comparative rates for Redblush fruits were 0.03 to 0.15 micro litre kg-1 h-1, respectively. Marsh Seedless fruits had higher Q10 values at 10 deg and 20 deg than Redblush fruits, particularly at the beginning of storage. Q10 values decreased during storage.
