Research Abstract |
The prpperties of elements related to the quality of muskmelon(Earl's Favorite) produced in Shizuoka prefecture and the nondestructive measurement method were discussed to evaluate the quality. The results were as follows : 1. The difference between melon of high class and one of low class was recognized from the surface net pattern by using the image processing analysis. 2. The surface color of melon became yellower as the class was higher and the time proceeded. 3. The peel hardness at equator of melon decreased after about 10 days from harvesting, and the flesh hardness and peel hardness at blossom end decreased after about 4 days. 4. As the result of the analysis of hitting sound wave by acoustic impulse response method, frequency indicated the maximum power spectrum of wave became lower, transmission velocity and damping velocigy decreased as the melon was riper. The correlation between them and the hardness of peel and flesh was found. 5. After harvesting, the sugar content at the middle part of flesh did not change, but increased for the flesh near peel till about a week. The sugar content of high class melon was higher than one of low class. 6. The sugar content and the hardness of melon could nondestructively estimate by using near infrared spectroscopy.
