Another interesting observation regarding the values in TSS of
fruit stored at 6 and 10 ◦C had similar trends, both increasing gradually
up to 12 days, then decreasing, and significant differences
were observed after 6 days in storage. However, TSS content in
fruit of storage at 25 ◦C declined rapidly, possibly due to fruit kept
at low temperature delaying the ripening according to Wills et al.
(1998). However, Bi et al. (2003) reported that there were no TSS
differences in different Hami melon cultivars among storage temperatures
(fruit of New Queen, 8601 and Kalakusai stored at 3 and
22 ◦C, 3 and 18 ◦C and 1 and 16 ◦C, respectively).
