Orange should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to avoid decays such as anthracnose and stem-end rot. Orange produces very little ethylene under optimal storage temperature but ethylene production increases for fruit stored then remove from chilling temperature. California and Arizona oranges are sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 37°F - 41°F (3°C - 5°C). Symptoms include pitting, brown stain, increased decay, internal discoloration, and off-flavors. Florida and Texas oranges rarely show chilling injury.
