Abstract

Abstract: Aromatic compounds from 10 ripe melon accessions that cover 5 varieties were detected by solid phase microextraction( SPME) and GC-MS， 10 other mature characters were studied by principal component analysis as well． The results showed that there was great difference in these fruit characters of different varieties at harvest．Ogen and Charentais( var． cantaloupensis) demonstrated typically climacteric behaviors，which were found not only higher in level of respiration rate and ethylene production vate but total area counts and the number of aromatic compounds than non-climacteric accessionT19 ( Casaba) ． Besides，Difference in relative content of aromatic compounds was also distinctive． As major aromatic compounds，content of esters ranged from 48． 17% - 92．74%; contents of alcohols and aldehydes were higher in var． inodrous and reticulatus melons( 15．85% - 26．45%) and YWH ( 37．26%) ， respectively． Melons of var． makuwa and conomon were distinguished with muskmelons in respect of higher contents of other aromatic compounds( 10．78% - 18. 81%) ． Levels of respiration rate and ethylene production were significantly correlated with content of non-acetate esters( r = 0．904＊＊ and 0． 967＊＊， respectively) ． 167 aromatic compounds were detected among 10 melon accessions in total， including 12 mutual ones，however their relative contents were largely varied． The difference of mature characters and aromatic compounds were to decide the special quality and diversity of different melon varieties．
