Table 7 show carotenoid content of the fresh-cut melon and papaya. In this table, we can find that carotenoid
content on fresh-cut melon was relatively stable and tend to be decrease at the end of shelf-life products. This
indicate that sample of fresh-cut melon at the maturity and ripening stage conditions when we stored they will be
decomposition products. However, carotenoid content of fresh-cut papaya was still increase during stored under different storage conditions, this indicate that the sample of the fresh-cut papaya still to be maturity and ripening
processes. Carotenoid content was relatively related with color changes evaluation in physical characteristics above.
In accordance with [11], carotenoid content have a positive correlation with hue index and red indicator (a), we
find this condition in the table 2b and table 7, where high carotenoid content will make hue and red content will also
increase then they will decrease when fresh-product was not able to be eaten.
