    Question

    For longer storage of cucumber fruits, the temperature

    should be:
    A 5°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cucumbers are chilling-sensitive and develop pitting/water-soaked lesions below 7°C. A 10°C storage temperature balances decay prevention with avoidance of chilling injury. Relative humidity of 90–95% further reduces water loss.
