Abstract
|
|
|
Ripening conditions of the winter squash ¡®Bochang¡¯ were evaluated. Soluble solids contents increased as the ripening duration was prolonged and with higher temperature. After harvest, the Hunter ¡®b¡¯ value of the skin was 2.42. At 25 and 30¡ÆC, the Hunter ¡®b¡¯ values were recorded at approximately 6.91 and 7.56, respectively. At 35¡ÆC, the Hunter ¡®b¡¯ value was increased to about 7.79 on day 9. Furthermore, at 35¡ÆC, the appearance quality was reduced with a yellowing phenomenon of the pericarp observed after 9 days. The starch contents also decreased with higher temperature, and sucrose contents increased in all ripening conditions with a longer period and higher temperature. Overall, these results indicate that ripening conditions of 25¡ÆC for 18-21 days and at 30¡ÆC for 12-15 days are suitable for the optimum ripening of winter squash.
