Summary
The development of chilling injury symptoms in zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L., cv "Elite") stored at 5 deg C was delayed by preconditioning the fruit at a temperature of 15 deg C for two days. The results indicate that acclimation to chilling temperature in squash may also involve modifications in the activities of catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase.
