Does anyone know what the scientific name for having a fear of grapefruits is?

Random inside joke between me and my friends but i've been googling it and i've found nothing so...has anyone else had any better luck than i do?

Does anyone know what the scientific name for having a fear of grapefruits is?

Reply:There is no specific one that I know of; although fear of food is called Cibophobia. I wonder if it might be citrusophobia! Fear of yellow is called Xanthophobia, so that would fit as well. I wonder if the Ruby or pink ones are more fearsome than the yellow ones, however.
Reply:I don't think there is a name for it. Why do you ask?
