Summary

Galia-type melons were harvested in 1990-91 and stored in a controlled atmosphere of 10% CO2 plus 10% O2 with ethylene absorbent for 14 days at 6 deg C, followed by an additional 6 days at 20 deg C. Fruit quality after this period (assessed by firmness, percentage of fruits showing decay and external appearance) was significantly better than that of control fruits (kept in ambient air) or fruits stored in controlled atmosphere only, without ethylene absorbent.
