Fruits and vegetables begin to deteriorate after they are harvested and separated from their growing environment. The rate of deterioration defines how long they will be acceptable for consumption. This is known as “shelf life.” To preserve the quality of fruits and vegetables and maximize profits for growers, it is critical to control the temperature of fresh produce and minimize the amount of time that products are exposed to detrimental temperatures.

Japanese Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) and Kabocha (Cucurbita maxima) are members of the cucurbit or pumpkin family. In Japan, kabocha is known as nutty flavoured pumpkin (in Japanese - Kuri Kabocha) and commands quite high prices. Fruits are small (1.5-2.0 kg). New hybrids of the two species have smaller fruit, due to the higher fruit set rate.
