This research was to examine the differences in post-harvest quality of melons depending on the harvest time after fruit setting. Musk melon cultivar 'K3' plants were grown in glass house conditions with a hydroponic system, and the fruits were harvested at 50, 60, and 70 days after fruit setting. The post-harvest characteristics of melons stored at 7℃ were measured over 32 days. The harvested fruits at 50, 60, 70 days after fruit setting did not differ significantly in weight, height, or size. Solid sugar content was highest in the fruits harvested at 70 days after fruit setting, but firmness, L* value, and respiration rate were highest in the fruits harvested at 50 days after fruit setting. When the harvested melons were stored at 7℃, 'K3' melons responded differently according to the harvest days after fruit setting. The major changes during storage of 'K3' melons can be summarized as follows: Firmness, respiration, moisture content, and general appearance index during storage were highest in the melons harvested at 50 days after fruit setting, but soluble solid content, fresh weight loss, and sensory evaluation were high in the melons harvested at 60 and 70 days after one. During storage at 7℃, there were no significant differences in the appearance of 'K3' melons harvested at different periods after fruit setting, but difference in soluble solid content and taste were noted. It is recommended that the fruit of 'K3' melon plants be harvested about 60 days after fruiting to provide consumers with the highest quality for taste and for storage.

Non-destructive determination of soluble solids(Brix) in harvested fruits using near infrared(hereafter, NIR) spectroscopy has been reported by many researchers. We have just reported on non-destructive estimation of Brix in harvested melons using a NIR Systems Model 6500 spectrophotometer(Ito et al., 2000). There is a melon cultivar that is difficult to judge the harvest time from the external appearance. If we can determine Brix in growing fruits non-destructively in the field, immature fruits will not be harvested. A portable m spectrophotometer for field use has been just developed by Kubota Corporation. The spectral data of growing melons were measured by the portable spectrophotometer. A commercial program was used for multiple linear regression analysis. Brix in growing melons could be estimated by a multiple regression equation calibrated with harvested melons. Absorbances of 906 and 874 nm were included as the independent variables in the multiple regression equation, and these wavelengths are key wavelengths for non-destructive Brix determination.

저장 중 포장 참외의 품질 유지를 위하여 포장과 세척방법을 달리하면서 참외에 대한 품질 평가를 실시한 결과, 저장기간의 경과에 따라 중량 및 경도는 감소하였으며 저장 12일 후부터는 오존수를 이용하여 세척한 처리구를 제외한 모든 구에서 심한 부패 및 손상이 발견되었다. 또한 관능평가 결과, 오존수 세척구에서 색, 외관, 맛, 조직감 모두 가장 높은 점수를 얻었으며 저장 후기에도 반점이 거의 생성되지 않고 부패정도가 가장 미비하여 외관에 대한 우수한 관능적 평가를 얻었다. 따라서 오존수 세척 후 통기성 있도록 박스포장을 하는 것이 참외의 유통 중 품질 유지에 효과적이라고 사료된다.

Melons (Cucumis melo L.) are generally grafted onto Cucurbita rootstocks to manage soilborne pathogens such as Monosporascus root rot and v ine decline (MRR/VD) and Fusarium wilt. However, g rafting onto Cucurbita rootstocks reportedly results in the reduction of fruit quality. In this study, the resistance to MRR/VD, yield, and fruit quality of melons grafted onto melon rootstocks were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. Eight melon rootstocks (R1 to R8) were used and the inodorus melon 'Homerunstar' was used as scion. Melon rootstocks R1 to R6 were selected based on resistance to MRR/VD under greenhouse conditions. Non-grafted 'Homerunstar' and plants grafted onto squash interspecific hybrid 'Shintozwa' rootstock (Cucurbita maxima D. ${\times}$ C. moschata D.) served as controls. Grafted melons were cultivated in the greenhouse infested with Monosporascus cannonballus during two growing seasons (summer and autumn). The responses to MRR/VD, yield, and fruit quality differed depending on the rootstocks and growing season. The melons grafted onto 'Shintozwa' exhibited less severe disease symptoms and higher survival rates than non-grafted melons in both seasons. While the melon rootstocks in the summer cultivation did not increase the survival rate compared to non-grafted melons, the melon rootstocks R1 and R2 in the autumn cultivation led to higher survival rates. The melon rootstocks resistant to MRR/VD increased the percentage of marketable fruits and marketable yields. Grafting onto the melon rootstocks caused little or no reduction of fruit quality such as low calcium content, fruit softening, and vitrescence, especially in lower-temperature autumn season. Accordingly, these results suggest that grafting onto the melon rootstocks may increase the tolerance to MRR/VD and the marketable yield without a reduction of fruit quality.

수확시기에 따른 참외 부위별 항산화 활성과 기능성 성분의 변화를 측정하기 위해 본 연구를 실시하였다. 참외를 2년에 걸쳐 주요 수확시기(6월, 7월, 8월)별로 수확하여 껍질, 과육, 태좌 세 부분으로 나눈 다음 에탄올로 추출하여 항산화 활성 및 기능성 성분 함량을 측정하였다. 기능성 성분 함량을 측정한 결과 2008, 2009년 껍질, 과육, 태좌 모든 부위에서 총 페놀, 총 플라보노이드 함량이 6월에 수확한 경우 가장 높았고, 2008년 껍질을 제외한 나머지 부위에서는 7월에 수확한 참외에서 기능성분 함량이 가장 낮았다. ABTS와 FRAP를 이용한 항산화 실험 결과도 마찬가지로 6월에 수확한 참외의 모든 부위가 강한 항산화 활성을 보여주었고, 7월에는 활성이 급격히 떨어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로 6월에 수확하는 참외가 기능성분 함량이 높고 품질이 좋은 건강 참외임을 알 수있었다. 수확시기에 따라 기능성 성분과 항산화 활성이 변화하는 연구결과는 제철 과일의 우수성을 보여주는 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, we aimed to apply multispectral imaging (713 - 920 nm, 10 bands) for maturity classification and recognition of oriental melons grown in hydroponic greenhouses. A total of 20 oriental melons were selected, and time series multispectral imaging of oriental melons was 7 - 9 times for each sample from April 21, 2023, to May 12, 2023. We used several approaches, such as Savitzky-Golay (SG), standard normal variate (SNV), and Combination of SG and SNV (SG + SNV), for pre-processing the multispectral data. As a result, 713 - 759 nm bands were preprocessed with SG for the maturity classification of oriental melons. Additionally, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) was used to train the recognition model for oriental melon. R² of recognition model were 0.92, 0.91 for the training and validation sets, respectively, and the F-scores were 96.6 and 79.4% for the training and testing sets, respectively. Therefore, multispectral imaging in the range of 713 - 920 nm can be used to classify oriental melons maturity and recognize their fruits.

Two oriental melons cultivars, ‘Geumssaragi Euncheon’(GSEC) and ‘House Eunchon’(HEC), were grafted onto different rootstocks and the growth, mineral contents and fruit quality were examined. The seedlings grafted onto‘Geumtozwa’rootsticks showed about 10% defected seedling loss(wilting or dwarfing0as compared to the little or no loss in the seedlings grafted onto 'Sintozwa' or 'Chamtozwa' rootstocks. The seedings grafted onto 'Sintozwa' or 'Chamtozwa' rootstocks also exhibited better vine growth as compared to the intact seedlings or the seedlings grafted onto 'Geumtozwa' rootstocks. The fruits growth, as measured by fruits length, fruit diameter and fruit fresh weight, was accelerated by the rootstocks especially by 'Sintozwa' and 'Chamtozwa' . Intact oriental melons showed the highest soluble solids content in the fruit pericarp followed by 'Chamtozwa' rootstocks. Sucrose contents were higher in the seedling grafted onto 'Sintozwa', whereas higher glucose and fructose contents were measured in intact GSEC fruits or HEC fruits on 'Chamtozwa' rootstock. As compared to the intact plants, the seedling grafted onto 'Sintozwa' rootstock showed higher N. P and K and lower Ca and Mg contents in leaves, stems, roots and fruits. 'Geumtozwa' rootstock, developed specially for oriental melons, showed very similar pattern of mineral absorption or distribution as compared to the intact plants.

Oriental melon has been increased in production amount, but its processed food was not made in spite of the fact that shelf-life of the fresh fruit is short. This study was carried out to develop a dried product with no use sulfur treatment. Fresh melons were peeled, cut into 6 pieces, and soaked to the following pretreatments soaking in sugar syrup(SS), sodium chloride(SC), ascorbic acid(AA) and sodium polyphosphate(SP). After preatreatments the melon pieces were dried by hot air drying at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 9 and 12 hours, and the dried melons were air blown at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 day. The dried samples were evaluated for moisture content, texture, rotor, and sensory quality. The moisture content of dried melons soaked in SS and SC were lower than those that were soaked in AA and SP after hot air drying. The melons dried for 12 hours were high in hardness, gumminess, chewness and adhesiveness and excellent in sensory evaluation compared to 9 hours. The "L" value of SS was higher and the "a" value was lower in Hunter color. And SS treatment inhibited browning of the dried melon and improved sensory characteristics in color, flavor, texture and taste. Sucrose concentration had no significant effect on color, hardness and sensory score in banal product. The combination of SS with SP represented a highly effective antibrowning treatment for the dried melon and the product was kept in good color for 3 months at room temperature.at room temperature.

시설재배 참외를 위한 새로운 방식의 순환식 수경재배시스템을 고안하여 참외 수경재배의 가능성을 검정하고, 순환식 수경재배 시의 배양액 관리기술을 확립하기 위하여 세 가지 수경재배방식에서 순환배양액의 무기이온 함량의 변화를 조사하였다. 참외의 수경재배에서 토양재배와 비교하여 양호한 수량과 품질을 나타내었다. 참외의 수경재배는 고형배지방식이 적합한 것으로 보였으며 NFT방식은 고온기의 장해발생으로 적합하지 않은 것으로 생각되었다. 참외의 배양액은 야마자키 조성 멜론 배양액을 EC 2.0dS.m$^{-}$로 전 생육기간에 동일하게 공급하는 것이 적절한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 순환방식에서도 배양액의 EC와 pH는 비교적 안정적으로 유지되었으며 순환배양액내의 다량원소와 미량원소도 계속적으로 일정한 함량으로 유지되어 참외용 수경재배방식이 적절한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. NO$_3$-N, Ca, Mg은 모든 재배방식에서 비슷한 양상으로 안정적인 함량변화를 나타내었고, P은 다른 두 방식에 비해 펄라이트 배지에서 약 $1me{\cdot}{\iota}$^{-}$ 정도 흡수가 저하하였으며, K은 펄라이트 배지에서는 불규칙한 양상을 보였으나 코코피트 배지에서는 안정적인 함량변화를 나타내었다. 미량원소는 Mo을 제외하고는 고형배지 방식에서는 대체적으로 안정된 함량의 추이를 나타내어 미량원소의 흡수가 원활하게 이루어진 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 NFT방식에서는 B와 Mn은 비교적 안정된 함량변화를 나타내었으나 다른 원소들은 불규칙적인 변화를 나타내었다. 특히 고온기에 미량원소의 흡수가 저하한 것을 알 수 있었으며 Cu. Zn, Mo의 흡수가 원활하지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과를 통하여 참외를 위한 새로운 순환식 고형배지방식은 참외시설재배에서의 문제점을 해결하는 적절한 방법이 될 것으로 생각되었다.
