Effect of controlled atmosphere storage on the quality of zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo var. Giromontina alef).

In experiments carried out in 2000 in Warsaw, Poland, the influence of maturity stage, temperature of storage and gas composition on the effects of storage on zucchini squash [marrows] cv. Astra were investigated. The fruits were harvested of three length classes and stored for 2 and 4 weeks. Weight losses were highest for the youngest fruits (length 10-16 cm). The best quality of fruits was obtained after storage at 6 deg C, in normal atmosphere, and in 3 deg C at controlled atmosphere 5% CO2:3% O2 and 3% CO2:3% O2. Storage at 3 deg C caused cold injuries of young fruits after 2 weeks of storage. The firmness and soluble solids decreased a little during storage.
