The Effects of Produce Washes on the Quality and Shelf Life of “Cantaloupe” (Cucumis Melo var. Cantalupensis) and “Watermelon” (Citrullus Lantus var. Lanatus)

Abstract: Our research objective was to evaluate the ability of produce washes to maintain the texture and color quality attributes of watermelon and cantaloupe while reducing the levels of natural fungi population on the melon surface. Melons were submerged for 2 min into either water control or water containing quaternary ammonium chloride (300 ppm) or an 18% hydrogen peroxide and 12% peroxyacetic acid combination (100 ppm), or an acetic acid, peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide combination (0.78%).
