Postharvest chilling diminishes melon flavor via effects on volatile acetate ester biosynthesis

In postharvest handling systems, refrigeration can extend fruit shelf life and delay decay via slowing ripening progress; however, it selectively alters the biosynthesis of flavor-associated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which results in reduced flavor quality. Volatile esters are major contrib...
