Summary

The storage life of cucumbers was influenced by packaging methods (perforated polyethylene film or boxes) and temperature during transport (10 or 24 °C) and storage (10 or 24 °C). Storage life was greatest (10 days) when fruits were packed in polyethylene film, transported at 10 °C and stored at 10 °C, followed by packing in boxes, transport at 10 °C and storage at 10 °C (8 days). Fruit fresh weight was affected more by packaging, whereas yellowing and firmness were influenced more by storage and transport temperatures.
