On changes of postharvest ethylene releasing and quality at different harvest date of melons.

Ethylene content and evolution were determined in melon fruits harvested 40, 45 or 50 days after anthesis (DAA) and stored at normal [room?] or cold temperatures. Ethylene concentration in fruits and ethylene evolution increased with fruit maturity. Changes in ethylene evolution were regular and 2 peaks were observed before fruits began to rot. Low temperature storage reduced the rate of ethylene evolution, delayed the appearance of the 2 ethylene peaks, and prolonged storage life. Storage life decreased with increasing maturity. Postharvest quality was also studied. Different harvest dates influenced SSC content before storage, but not VC [ascorbic acid] content or acidity.
