Excerpt from Evaluating the Quality of United States-Grown Citrus Fruits in European Markets These studies showed that most of the citrus fruit shipments from Arizona and California had good appearance upon arrival in European ports, at auction, and after transit to retail markets. Florida oranges were slightly greenish orange and Florida grapefruit slightly greenish yellow. The survey also showed that citrus fruits were discounted at auction because of such defects as rind breakdown, insect injury, variability in size and rind color, and blemishes such as melanose, rust mite, and total decay.
