Type of article: Article

Summary

CHILLING INJURY OF ZUCCHINI SQUASH (CUCURBITA PEPO L, CULTIVAR < AMBASSADOR >) WAS REDUCED BY A LOW-OXYGEN ATMOSPHERE. THE EXTENT OF SURFACE PITTING AFTER EXPOSURE TO 275.5 K (2.5 DEG C) WAS LESS UNDER 1% O2 THAN WHEN KEPT IN AIR. THE LOW-OXYGEN-STORED SQUASH MAINTAINED HIGHER LEVELS OF SPERMIDINE AND SPERMINE DURING STORAGE AT 275.5 OR 285.5 K (2.5 OR 12.5 DEG C). PUTRESCINE AND SPERMIDINEIN THE SKIN TISSUE INCREASED IN RESPONSE TO EXPOSURE TO CHILLING TEMPERATURE.
