Abstract
Physicochemical properties of watermelon having flesh browning and softenin g disorder were measured. Moisture content and pH of the injured watermelon were higher than those of normal watermelon. However, color tone (Lab), ha rdness, soluble solid, and total amino acid and sugar contents of the injur ed fruit were lower than those of normal fruit.
