  • Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005
    Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Agriculture www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines i MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARIES We are pleased to present the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This document is intended to be a primary source of dietary health information for policymakers, nutrition educators, and health providers. Based on the latest scientific evidence, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines provides information and advice for choosing a nutritious diet, maintaining a healthy weight, achieving adequate exercise, and “keeping foods safe” to avoid foodborne illness. This document is based on the recommendations put forward by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. The Committee was composed of scientific experts who were responsible for reviewing and analyzing the most current dietary and nutritional information and incorporating this into a scientific evidence-based report. We want to thank them and the other public and private professionals who assisted in developing this document for their hard work and dedication. The more we learn about nutrition and exercise, the more we recognize their importance in everyday life. Children need a healthy diet for normal growth and development, and Americans of all ages may reduce their risk of chronic disease by adopting a nutritious diet and engaging in regular physical activity. However, putting this knowledge into practice is difficult. More than 90 million Americans are affected by chronic diseases and conditions that compromise their quality of life and well-being. Overweight and obesity, which are risk factors for diabetes and other chronic diseases, are more common than ever before. To correct this problem, many Americans must make significant changes in their eating habits and lifestyles.

Traditionally, there were two primary orange flesh melon types grown and sold; western types, which are fruits that range in size from about 3 to 5 pounds which are heavily netted and not sutured, and eastern types which have some netting, have a shorter shelf life but have a larger fruit size than a western melon, and tend to have a softer flesh with apparent more flavor than a western melon.

  • Specialty Melon Yield and Quality Response to Grafting in Trials Conducted in the Southeastern United States
    Specialty Melon Yield and Quality Response to Grafting in Trials Conducted in the Southeastern United States J. Schultheisa and W. Thompson R. Hassell North Carolina State University Clemson University Department of Horticultural Science CREC 2721 Founders Drive, Kilgore Hall 2700 Savannah Highway Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Charleston, SC 29414 USA USA Keywords: Cucumis melo var. reticulatus, inodorus, soluble solids, flesh firmness, fruit size, ‘Carnivor’ rootstock, squash interspecific hybrid Abstract In 2013, the US melon industry grossed over $394 million from approximately 34 thousand hectares of cantaloupe and honeydew crops. North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC) produced about 5% of the USA acreage and value, yet the melon crop in these two states are still valued at several million dollars. Most melon production involves various types of orange flesh melons commonly marketed as cantaloupes. In addition to cantaloupes, there are other types of “specialty” melons that provide new production opportunities. Several of these melon types have relatively soft flesh and limited shelf life, and are less suited for shipping or the larger grocery store retail market. Grafting was evaluated in three tests in 2011 through 2013 in NC and SC to determine if there were any advantages with respect to yield (earliness and total production) and quality (fruit size, soluble solids, and flesh firmness). The were 7 melon entries evaluated in 2011, and 16 melon entries evaluated in 2012 and 2013 studies, which were replicated 5 or 3 times, respectively. Generally, yields were reduced with the various melon cultivars and types tested when using grafted rather than self-grafted or non-grafted plants indicating that the graft itself was not a detriment to yields.

  • Quality Changes of Minimally Processed Honeydew Melons Stored in Air Or Controlled Atmosphere
    Postharvest Biology and Technology 14 (1998) 351–357 Short communication Quality changes of minimally processed honeydew melons stored in air or controlled atmosphere Silvina I. Portela, Marita I. Cantwell * Department of Vegetable Crops, Uni6ersity of California, One Shields A6e., Da6is, CA 95616-8746, USA Received 30 May 1998; accepted 25 July 1998 Abstract Pieces (18×35 mm cylinders) were prepared from sanitized fruits of four honeydew melon varieties (Green Flesh, Morning Ice, Rico, RML 2704) harvested at typical commercial maturity. Pieces were stored in air or controlled atmosphere (CA=air+15% CO2) at 5°C and evaluated for sensory quality, firmness, color and soluble solids concentration (SSC) after 0, 6 and 12 days. Significant variation was found among varieties in SSC (9.9–12.2%), firmness (14.0–19.9 N), and chroma (10.4–19.0), hue angle (115–113) and L* (63.7–66.8) color values of pieces on day 0. Pieces from the four varieties averaged 10 N firmness loss from day 0 to 12 and CA reduced loss significantly in only one variety. During air storage color saturation decreased only in pieces from varieties with high initial chroma (C) values. Average DC between days 0 and 12 was −3.7 for air-stored vs −1.0 for CA-stored pieces. Average DL* was −5.8 and −1.4 for the same conditions, respectively. SSC were maintained during storage in air or CA. Pieces stored in 15% CO2 had higher visual quality scores than those stored in air. In addition, CA storage greatly reduced development of macroscopic decay, translucency and off-odors.

(August 2012) Rabia Esma Sipahi, B.S., Ankara University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Elena Castell-Perez Fresh-cut watermelon is appreciated for its taste, flavor, and juiciness. However, there are challenges in maintaining the freshness since fresh-cut processing of fruits promotes faster deterioration. Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of multilayered antimicrobial edible coating on the shelf-life of fresh-cut watermelon while keeping its original attributes for longer, without affecting its sensory properties. A set of solutions containing sodium alginate (0.5, 1, 2% w/w), beta- cyclodextrin, trans-cinnamaldehyde (antimicrobial agent), pectin, and calcium lactate were used as coating systems for fresh-cut watermelon cylinders.
