- Observation Sucrose and carotenoid contents increased in C. moschata during storage.
- Observation Sucrose and carotenoid contents initially increased and then decreased in C. maxima.
- Observation The abstract reports decreased acidity in C. maxima, primarily driven by malic acid, while also reporting an increase for the same species.
- Observation The same acidity sentence also reports increased acidity in C. maxima.
- Observation C. moschata starch content peaked at 30 days postharvest.
- Observation C. maxima starch content peaked at 20 days postharvest.
- Association DPPH scavenging activity correlated with carotenoid content in C. moschata.
- Association DPPH scavenging activity correlated with carotenoid content in C. maxima.
- Observation C. maxima showed higher commercial suitability at 10–20 days postharvest.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that pumpkin storage is crucial for quality improvement.
