Physico-Chemical Changes in Muskmelons (Cucumis melo, L.) during Storage
Fruits of muskmelon (Cucumis melo, L. cv. Asuka) grown under hydrophonic condition were harvested 37 days after anthesis and stored at room temperature (25 - 2lfJC) and at 6 -/Pc.

| description | Fruits of muskmelon (Cucumis melo, L. cv. Asuka) grown under hydrophonic condition were harvested
37 days after anthesis and stored at room temperature (25 - 2lfJC) and at 6 -/Pc. The physicochemical
characteristics of the fruits during storage were evaluated. The major limiting deteriorative
change during storage at room temperature was softening ofthe fruits. Fruits stored at room temperature
had a shelf-life of about 5 days while those stored at 6 - 8 c were acceptable for 3 weeks. The pH and
titratable acidity did not change much during storage. There was a slight decrease in total soluble solids
and total soluble sugars during storage. |
