Abstract:
A negative temperature differential between fruits or vegetables and the water in which they are immersed theoretically enhances infiltration of water and any microorganisms it might contain into tissues. The effect of temperature differentials between cantaloupes and wash water, each at 4 and 30°C, on changes in cantaloupe weight and populations of Salmonella enterica Poona recovered from rinds and stem scar tissues of Eastern and Western (shipper) types of cantaloupes was assessed. The percent weight increase in Western cantaloupes was significantly greater (P ≤ 0.05) than that in Eastern ca

Abstract:
A nondestructive measurement approach is presented in this paper, which is capable of determining sugar content in cantaloupe from the dielectric property. The approach is based on measured equivalent capacitance and equivalent resistance of the cantaloupe, and on data analysis using quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) and Grey radial basis function (RBF) neural network. First, accumulated generating operation (AGO) in Grey forecasting is used to convert the initial observed data to obtain the accumulated data with strong regularity, which are employed to model and train the rad

Abstract:
In 1993, a bacterial blight caused important losses of cantaloupe (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis) in southwestern France and has now been reported in all cantaloupe-growing regions of France. The causal agent of this blight is Pseudomonas syringae, although on a worldwide basis this bacterium has not been a major pathogen of melon for over 50 years. To identify the pathovar of the cantaloupe pathogen, we employed biochemical tests, plasmid and chromosomal profiling, and host range studies for 23 strains from cantaloupe and 47 reference strains of 14 pathovars of P. syringae.

Improvements in methods for disinfecting fresh-cut cantaloupe could reduce spoilage losses and reduce the risk of food-borne illness from human pathogen contamination. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using hot-water treatment in combination with low-dose irradiation to reduce native microbial populations while maintaining the quality of fresh-cut cantaloupe. Whole cantaloupes were washed in tap water at 20 or 76°C for 3 min.
