Quality of winter squash affected by storage air composition and temperature.

Spaghetti squash (Cucurbita pepo) fruits were stored in air at low (with CaCl2) or high RH, or in modified or controlled atmospheres of roughly the same composition (5% or 10% CO2 in 5% O2). Fruits from each treatment were stored at 4 or 10 deg C. Storage quality was evaluated on the basis of decay after 6 weeks of storage, and after one additional week at 20 deg . Both atmosphere modification techniques produced similar results. There were no beneficial effects of 5% or 10% CO2 over air. Low RH resulted in the best quality fruits with the least decay [pathogen(s) unspecified]. The incidence of decay after a week at 20 deg was higher in fruits stored at 4 deg than at 10 deg , implying chilling injury.
