Comparisons between Orange- and Green- fleshed Non-netted and Orange-fleshed Netted Muskmelons: Antioxidant Changes following Different Harvest and Storage Periods
The consumption of netted muskmelons (Cucunt.is izzelo L. Reticulatus group) has raised health concerns due to pathogenic bacteria attaching to sites on the netted rind inaccessible to sanitation. The purpose of this study was to compare I) the enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidant capacity between representative cultivars of netted muskmelon and both greenand orange-fleshed honey dew muskmelons d...
متن کاملGuide to the Commercial Production of Muskmelon (Cantaloupe) and Related Melons
Historical Perspective Muskmelons, often called cantaloupes in the United States, are not commonly grown here. True cantaloupes have deeply grooved fruit with a hard, warty, or scaly rind and orange or green flesh. Muskmelons (Cucumis melo L. Reticulatus Group), on the other hand, possess a fruit rind that is netted. The muskmelon is a member of the Cucurbitaceae (cucumber) family, which also i...
متن کاملCarotenoids and carotenoid esters of orange- and yellow-fleshed mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota (Jacq.) H.E. Moore & Stearn) fruit and their post-prandial absorption in humans.
Although different genotypes of mamey sapote with distinct pulp colors are consumed in countries from Central to South America, in-depth knowledge on genotype-related differences of their carotenoid profile is lacking. Since the fruit was found to contain the potentially vitamin A-active keto-carotenoids sapotexanthin and cryptocapsin, we sought to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the ...
متن کاملEffect of Postharvest Application of γ-Aminobutyric Acid, Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Salicylate on Chilling Injury, Peel Attributes and Fruit Juice Quality of ‘Moro’ Blood Orange During Cold Storage
In this study, the effects of postharvest application of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA) on chilling injury, peel attributes and fruit juice quality of ‘Moro’ blood orange during cold storage at 3 °C and 90% RH for 150 days was investigated. GABA treatment at concentrations of 20 and 40 mM using vacuum at 30 kPa for 8 minutes and MeJA and MeSA va...
متن کاملPhenological Characteristics, Yield, and Fruit Quality of Yellow-Fleshed Nectarines under High Desert Conditions of the Northwestern United States over Five Years
An increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(Prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. Information on this subject is limited at the present time. In search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (GDD), ful...
