Glasshouse Cucumber

Plants of the gynaecious cucumber cv. Farbio were planted under glass, about 30 days after sowing, on 13 and 27 December and on 10 and 24 January. Night temperatures of 12, 16 and 20 deg C were compared until 1 April, the day temperature being 21-27 deg . Only 835 of 3600 flowers aborted shortly after opening. The later planted crops showed less abortion than earlier planted ones and the lower the night temperature the higher was the level of abortion. Abortion of the second and third flowers in an axil accounted for 60% of the total, regardless of night temperature. Fruits were picked every 5 days; those with the longest hanging time (i.e. slowest growth) were found primarily in axils just below axils in which all flowers had aborted. Such fruits are known to have a reduced shelf life [see HcA 50, 7105] and quality could thus be controlled to some extent by selective thinning of fruit in these axils.

Life Prolongation

In this work, an active coating and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) were investigated to prolong the shelf life of Fiordilatte packaged in traditional brine. First, the screening of MAP was performed in order to select the best gas composition. Then, the combined effect of MAP and coating was investigated. Finally, the coating was loaded with potassium sorbate and its effects under MAP conditions were also assessed. Results highlighted that MAP was able to control growth of the main spoilage microbial group (Pseudomonasspp.); however, the solubilisation of carbon dioxide into the brine compromised Fiordilatte texture. Therefore, the presence of the active coating avoided the damage of gas solubilisation and promoted a shelf life prolongation by about 157%.
