Quality Requirements for Cucumbers: Cucumbers must be intact, sound, fresh in appearance, firm, free of abnormal moisture, and without foreign odors or tastes. Seeds should be soft and undeveloped. The standard also addresses the classification of cucumbers into three quality classes: Extra, Class I, and Class II, each with specific criteria regarding shape, size, and defects.
Harvesting and Handling: Cucumbers should be carefully harvested to avoid mechanical damage, especially around the stalk. Fruit should be at an appropriate developmental stage for their intended use-whether fresh consumption or processing.
Storage Conditions: The optimum storage temperature is between +7 °C and +10 °C to prevent chilling injury and yellowing. Relative humidity should be maintained between 90% and 95% to reduce wilting and weight loss. Air circulation must be ensured to preserve a stable atmosphere, and exposure to ethylene-producing products must be avoided to prevent premature deterioration.
Packaging and Packing: The standard specifies packaging methods that support cucumber quality during transport-using wooden crates or perforated fibreboard boxes. Wrapping cucumbers in film or cellophane or waxing is recommended to maintain humidity and extend shelf life. Size and weight uniformity in packaging helps preserve product integrity.
Transport Requirements: Refrigerated transport must maintain consistent temperatures within the optimal range. Vehicles used should be clean, free from contaminants, and technically capable of sustaining cold conditions with good airflow. Ice-refrigerated or mechanically refrigerated trucks and railway containers are advised. Proper loading and stacking techniques are essential to avoid damage.
Storage and Transport Duration: Under ideal conditions, cucumbers can be stored and transported for approximately ten days. Temperatures below +7 °C should be short-term only, as prolonged cold exposure results in chilling injury. Controlled atmosphere and quick cooling immediately after harvest optimize shelf life.
