3.3. Sensory descriptors
There were significant differences (P < 0.05) within the samples for all the descriptors tested (Table 4). It was assumed that the differences were raised from the rootstock, as all samples were produced under the similar controllable conditions. Energiagrafting combination presented sensory descriptor intensity very close to the ungrafted Incas samples whereas Incas samples grafted onto Sting, Polifemo, AS10, P360 and RS841 differed from the control mainly due to the flavor and aroma descriptors. In particular, the ungrafted melon (control) showed the highest values for the honeydew melon flavor and honeydew melon aroma and the lowest for fruity aroma and fruity flavor descriptors.
