Summary

Hami melon cv. New Century fruits were harvested at horticultural maturity and evaluated for quality traits during storage at different temperatures. The main parameters studied were chilling injury symptoms.

Colour and texture characteristics of such fruits were similar to those of freshly harvested fruits.
