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.
