Abstract: The study aims to investigate the influence of different preservation methods on melon. An experiment was carried out by taking‘Xizhoumi No.25’as material to study the effect of preservative (1-MCP), fungicide and fungicide composite preservative (1-MCP) treatments on storage characters of melon fruit under the condition of room temperature. The results showed that under the condition of normal temperature storage, 1-MCP treatment effectively restrained soluble solids decrease and weight lose rate, and controlled the skin color. Fungicide was more significant for reducing decay rate of melon. Combining the advantages of both, compound preservation processing had effective inhibition on postharvest senescence caused by physiological disorder and pathological decay, and showed the best effect on maintaining fruit quality and reducing fruit rot rate.
