Effects of different varieties of tail melon on quality characteristics of preserved melon
In order to explore the quality characteristics of different varieties of tail preserved melon,six varieties and two mature level of tail melons planted in Minqin were used as the test ingredients,and the preserved melons were prepared by sugar boiling and drying.The results of sensory evaluation showed that the sensory evaluation scores of two kinds of mature tail melon of Xizhoumi No.17 were the highest,both above 80.45 points,while the sensory evaluation scores of other five kinds of tail melons were below 80.00 points.The quality indexes of six kinds of preserved melon were ana-lyzed comprehensively with the results of sensory evaluation,and it was found that the sugar acidity,taste,fullness and color of Xizhoumi No.17 was the best.The Jinhongbao and Yellow melon No.2 came in second.The other three kinds of melon of Yindi,Shenzhoumi and Luhoutian No.129 had poor comprehensive evaluation.In the quality indexes,the yield of 6-8 maturity was higher than that of 8-10 maturity.In summary,the 6-8 maturity of Xizhoumi No.17 was more suitable for application in the production of tail preserved melon.This study provided theoretical guidance for the reuse of tail mel-ons and the production of dry products in Minqin.
