Kew's grapefruit documentation specifies its use for juice production, so grapefruit is an item that requires simultaneous management of both fresh fruit and juice processing. ( Plants of the World Online )

The conversion of fruit peels, pomegranates, and seeds into food, functional, or cosmetic materials is linked to a separate RFQ or PRP only when safety, the legality of the raw materials, and official research grounds are confirmed.
