摘要: Pieces (1835 mm cylinders) were prepared from sanitized fruits of four honeydew melon varieties (Green Flesh, Morning Ice, Rico, RML 2704) harvested at typical commercial maturity. stored in air or controlled atmosphere (CAair15% CO2) 5°C and evaluated for sensory quality, firmness, color soluble solids concentration (SSC) after 0, 6 12 days. Significant variation was found among SSC (9.9‐12.2%), firmness (14.0‐19.9 N), chroma (10.4‐19.0), hue angle (115‐113) L* (63.7‐66.8) values pieces on day 0. the averaged 10 N loss 0 to CA reduced significantly only one variety. During storage saturation decreased with high initial (C) values. Average DC between days 3.7 air-stored vs 1.0 CA-stored pieces. DL* 5.8 1.4 same conditions, respectively. maintained during CA. 15% CO2 had higher visual quality scores than those air. In addition, greatly development macroscopic decay, translucency off-odors. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
