STANDARDS FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES 87 
“Bxcessively rough” means that the fruit is 
badly ridged, badly grooved, or badly wrinkled. 
‘ Serious damage ”’ means any injury by the causes 
mentioned which seriously affects the appearance, 
or edible, or shipping quality of the fruit. Any one 
of the following defects, or any combination thereof 
the seriousness of which exceeds the maximum 
allowed for any one defect, shall be considered as 
serious damage: 
(1) Freezing injury when the fruit shows a water 
soaked appearance or evidence of previous water 
soaking, or the presence of crystals or crystalline 
deposit, on the two surface membranes of each of 
two or more segments. as Shown on the separation 
of the segments, one from another, of a section, not 
less than 1 inch or more than 11% inches in thickness, 
of the central portion of the fruit, obtained by cutting 
off a portion of each end—the evidence of freezing 
injury to show for the entire length but not neces- 
sarily the entire area of the surface membranes. 
(2) Spray burn, which materially changes the 
color of the affected portion, or when the scarring 
aggregates more than 14 inches in diameter. 
(3) Fumigation injury when occurring as thinly 
Scattered specks over a segment comprising more 
than one half of the fruit surface or solid scarring 
aggregating more than 114% inches in diameter. 
(4) Ammoniation, when occurring as thinly scat- 
tered specks over a segment comprising more than one 
half of the fruit surface, or solid Scarring (not 
cracked) when aggregating more than 114 inches in 
diameter. 
(5) Scars caused by any means other than spray 
burn, fumigation injury, or ammoniation, when 
rough, deep, and affecting more than 20 percent in 
the aggregate of the fruit surface, or black scars 
which detract seriously from the appearance of the 
grapefruit. 
(6) Scale, when concentrated as a ring or blotch, or 
when thinly scattered over more than 50 percent of 
the fruit surface. 
(7) Sunburn, when the affected portion exceeds one 
third of the fruit surface, or is hard, or discolored, or 
the fruit is decidedly one-sided. 
(8) Dryness, when extending into segments more 
than one half inch at the stem end, or more than the 
equivalent of this amount by volume, when occurring 
in other portions of the fruit.
