Citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges may be kept for several weeks without refrigeration. Offer a possible reason why the spoilage rate is not higher. O Carbohydrates' hydrolysis increases the amount of carbon dioxide gases around the fruit, which prevents its spoilage. O The citrus fruit peel prevents spoilage by serving as a barrier to water vapor. O Citrus fruits contain hydrophilic carbohydrates that prevent spoilage by absorbing moisture from air. O The acid content and the presence of vitamin C prevent spoilage by reducing bacterial growth.
