The purpose of this study was to evaluate microbial contamination of melons in Korea. A total of 123 samples including melon fruits, leaves, seeds, soils, and irrigation water were collected from farms and markets to detect total aerobic bacteria, coliform, Escherichia coli, and pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Samples were collected from Iksan and Nonsan farms to monitor bacterial levels on pre-market melons. The total aerobic and coliform bacteria on melon cultivation were between 0.43 and 6.65 log CFU g -1 , and 0.67 and 2.91 log CFU g -1 , respectively. Bacillus cereus, a fecal coliform, was detected in soils and melon leaves from Iksan farm at 2.95, 0.73 log CFU g -1 , respectively, and in soils from Nonsan farm at 3.16 log CFU g -1 . Market melon samples were collected to assay bacterial load on melon being sold to consumers. The contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria in agricultural markets, big-box retailers, and traditional markets were 4.82, 3.94, 3.99 log CFU g -1 , respectively. The numbers of coliform in melon on the markets ranged from 0.09 to 0.49 log CFU g-1. Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected in any samples. The count of total aerobic bacteria on melon seeds ranged from 0.33 to 3.34 log CFU g -1 . This study found that irrigation water, soil, manure and various farm work activities including post-harvest processes were latent sources of microbial contamination. These results suggest that hygienic management and monitoring of soil, water, and agricultural material should be performed to reduce microbial contamination in melon production.

“…Most melons vary in breeding and cultivation methods; netted melons and non-netted melons can be harvested within 50 to 55 days and 40 to 45 days after pollination respectively in Korea (Kim et al, 2007). After harvesting, the selection of the melon is based on the grade regulation of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service and mainly depends on size, net type, and stalk shape (Oh et al, 2011).…”

This study was conducted to identify the effect of ripening conditions on quality of 'Honey One' and 'Earl`s Talent' muskmelon cultivars stored at 10°C with 80 ± 5% relative humidity (RH) and room temperature (RT; 25°C) with 50 ± 5% RH. Weight loss and respiration rate of both cultivars were lower at 10°C than at RT throughout the ripening period. In the case of ethylene and ethanol production, 'Honey One' showed higher production than 'Earl`s Talent'. There was no significant difference in acetaldehyde production between the two cultivars. 'Honey One' had higher total soluble solids (TSS) than 'Earl`s Talent' throughout the ripening period. 'Earl`s Talent' showed lower sucrose but higher glucose and fructose contents than 'Honey One'. Titratable acidity (TA) and firmness decreased in both cultivars during the ripening period. 'Earl`s Talent' maintained firmness longer than 'Honey One'. The polygalacturonase (PG) activity of 'Honey One' decreased starting from the 6th day of ripening, reaching 12.58 nmol•kg-1 •s-1 on day 9 and maintaining that level afterwards while at RT. By contrast, 'Earl`s Talent' maintained PG activity up to day 21. Both water soluble pectin (WSP) and ammonium soluble pectin (ASP) increased but hydrochloric acid soluble pectin (HSP) and sodium hydroxide soluble pectin (SSP) decreased as the ripening period proceeded. The Hunter`s L* value of the two cultivars showed a decreasing trend in the flesh regardless of the ripening temperature. The sensory evaluation scores for both cultivars were highest on day 15th at 10°C and on day 9th at RT. Overall, our results revealed that the best nutritional benefits of muskmelon were achieved on the 15th day of ripening at 10°C and on the 9th day of ripening at RT irrespective of cultivars.

The optimal temperature for storage was investigated to maintain the freshness of 'Honey One' melon. The melons were harvested on June 28, 2017 at the Chuncheon area in Gangwon Province, Korea. Three samples were packaged in corrugated box and were stored at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20°C. The melon stored at 20°C showed the highest weight loss difference of up to 2.1%, while the samples stored at 0°C and 5°C showed the lowest weight loss. The melon stored at 20°C changed pulp color rapidly during storage. The low storage temperatures (0°C and 5°C) effectively delayed the pulp softening and respiration rate of melon. A longer storage period decreases the hardness of melon. During six days of storage, the hardness of 'Honey One' melon at 20°C went down from 4.7 N up to 1.5 N. Soluble solid (SS) and free sugar contents did not change regardless of the storage temperatures. The sensory evaluation of sweetness and overall acceptability showed the highest value for melons stored at 5°C. The results suggested that optimum storage temperature of 'Honey One' melon to maintain its freshness was at 5°C.
