Toward a practical, postharvest heat treatment for 'Galia' melons.

Harvested Galia melons were dipped in hot water, wrapped in PVC stretch film and subjected to shelf-life trials at 8 deg C for 6 d followed by 18 deg for up to 9 d. A dipping time of 1-2 min at 55 deg C was the optimum antifungal treatment while a higher temperature or longer exposure time resulted in heat injury to the fruits. Wrapping damp fruits before hot-water treatment resulted in heat injury due to the longer dipping time required. Wrapping the fruits while still wet from the hot water treatment provided effective, antifungal protection during storage for 9 d at 18 deg and none of the excess water was retained under the wrapping to enhance decay development. This technique shortened the exposure time to possible reinfection to only a matter of seconds after heat treatment.
