Since pumpkins, squash and the ever-confusing gourds are all so closely related, how do you know the difference? Tradition tells us that pumpkins are something you carve, squash is something you cook, and a gourd is something you look at. But it is not that easy, or really that hard either. The answer is in the stem. All of these fall favorites belong to the same genetic family, Cucurbita. Within that that family are several species- Cucurbita pepo, Winter Squash Varieties Cucurbita maxima and Cucurbita moschata. The pepo species is the true https://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/a- pumpkins - varieties within this group have bright orange skin and hard, visual-guide-to-winter-squash-varieties-article woody, distinctly furrowed stems. The maxima species also contains varieties that produce pumpkin-like fruit, but the skin is usually more yellow, and the stems are soft and spongy or corky, without ridges.

    Technical Sciences, 2016, 19(4), 295–312 THE EFFECT OF DRYING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE ON COLOUR AND CAROTENOIDS CONTENT OF GIANT PUMPKIN (CUCURBITA MAXIMA) Mariusz Sojak, Małgorzata Jaros, Monika Janaszek-Mańkowska, Jędrzej Trajer, Szymon Głowacki, Arkadiusz Ratajski Department of Fundamental Engineering Warsaw University of Life Sciences Received 30 August 2016, accepted 26 October 2016, available online 26 October 2016. K e y w o r d s: Chemical composition, Clustering, Colour, Drying, Factor analysis, Pumpkin. Abstract The objective of this study was to characterise the quality of giant pumpkin dried in different conditions as well as to determine the best combination(s) of drying conditions, based on colour and chemical composition of dried material. Samples of three pumpkin cultivars (Amazonka, Justynka- 957 and Ambar) were dried at five different temperatures (40oC, 50oC, 60oC, 70oC, 80oC) using three different drying methods (forced convection in tunnel dryer, natural convection in chamber dryer and hybrid drying which combined a tunnel drying and fluidized-bed drying). It has been shown that variability of samples resulted primarily from the redness, yellowness, lutein and β-carotene. Samples were scored based on the range of responses identified by factor analysis in order to find an optimal combination of cultivar, temperature and drying method. The three subsequent highest scores were obtained for samples of Ambar cultivar, dried using hybrid drying at 40, 60 and 80oC respectively.

  • Cultivar-Groups in Cucurbita Maxima Duchesne: Diversity and Possible Domestication Pathways
    diversity Review Cultivar-Groups in Cucurbita maxima Duchesne: Diversity and Possible Domestication Pathways Fernando Sebastián López-Anido Cátedra de Genética, Facultad Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Rosario-IICAR Conicet, Zavalla S2125ZAA, Argentina; [email protected] Abstract: Domesticated Cucurbita has been remarked as one of the plant genera with the highest diversity in color, shape and fruit dimensions. Their economic and cultural values are related to the consumption of the mature or immature fruits, seeds, flowers, and to the use as decoration. The wild ancestor of C. maxima, the ssp. andreana has an actual scattered and disjointed distribution, associated with megafauna seed disperser syndrome. It was domesticated in South America around 9000–7000 years BP. The cultivar-group is a subspecific category for assembling cultivars on the basis of defined similarity. The work describes and pictures nine cultivar-groups for the species, Banana, Turban, Hubbard, Show, Buttercup, Zapallito, Plomo, Zipinka and Nugget. The molecular and a morphological join data analysis scatter biplot showed Turban and Buttercup in a central position, suggesting a first step in the domestication pathway associated with seed and immature fruit consumption; afterward, bigger bearing fruits groups were selected for their mature fruit flesh quality on one hand, and bush type, short day induction and temperate climate adaptation on the other hand. The striking domesticated Brazilian accession MAX24 intermediate between cultigens and ssp. andreana strengthens, in concordance with archeological remains, the possible domestication place of the species more easternward than previously believed.
