 Overseas Shipping Tests of California Citrus on Pallets and in Containers -- Interrelations Between Transit Temperatures, Biphenyl Pad Placement, Biphenyl Content, and Fruit ConditionG. L. Rygg No 313614, Marketing Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Transportation and Marketing Program Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Recent developments in facilities used to transport California citrus fruits to the European markets include pallets, mechanically refrigerated railcars, and cargo containers. Little or no experimental data are available on the residue of the volatile fungistat biphenyl and the condition of fruit handled in these facilities. This information was needed because of the 70 p.p.m. biphenyl tolerance of the European Economic Community (EEC). To secure such information, three test shipments of Valencia oranges were sent to Rotterdam, Holland, using different sizes of pallets for two shipments and the break-bulk method for the other. Two test shipments of lemons in cargo containers also were sent to Rotterdam.
