account for ≈5% of the world production of melons ( Dhillon et al., 2011 ). Arizona and California are the major producers of cantaloupe and honeydew melons in the United States. These states accounted for 80% of the area planted to cantaloupe (30,809 ha

reported that hot water treatment at 76 °C for 3 min reduced the microbial population of cantaloupe. During storage in air, counts of mesophiles of persimmon slices increased to 6.4 log cfu·g −1 by Day 4. The high CO 2 (10%, 15%, and 20%) CA reduced the
