Fruits have received extensive study one example is that of the passion fruit volatiles. Another fruit in which sulfur volatiles play an aroma role is musk-melon (Cucumis melo cv. Makdimon). A musky overtone is provided by 3-(methylthio)propanal ( stale ) and 5 -(methylthio)-butanoate ( pine, earthy )...

Identified as one of 140 volatile constituents in used soybean oils collected from a processing plant that fried various beef, chicken, and veal products (Takeoka et al., 1996).

The species Cucumis melo comprises a great number of varieties that exhibit considerable diversity in their biological characteristics [65]. The dessert melons of commercial importance exhibit a wide variation in flavour and aroma profiles [66]. 

The extraction technique can play an important role in the recovery of volatiles, resulting in different profiles of volatiles for the same variety [67]. The direct extraction of Cucumis melo L. var. cantaloupensis with Freon 11 under low temperature was capable of recovering compounds never found before in melons [26]. The authors attributed this to the non-destructive extraction at low temperatures and the very efficient capillary chromatographic system used for the analysis. 

Cultivars of Cucumis melo L. can be attacked by Didymella bryoniae Auersew, which can cause considerable losses, because fruits attacked by this organism do not have commercial value anymore. Mosquitoes, mainly Bemisia tabaci, also attack melon cultivars. Reductions in weight, size, and sugar content are evident consequences of mosquitoes attack. Diaphania nitidalis attacks flowers and fruits, whereas Diaphania hyalinata generally attacks the leaves of the melon tree. 

At present, there are some patents concerning the production of green notes by recombinant guava 13-hydroperoxide lyase expressed in Escherichia coli [70, 71] and Cucumis melo hydroperoxide lyase the latter yields a mixture of C6 and C9 compounds [72].

The first pyrolysin to be cloned from a higher plant was cucumisin from Cucumis melo, an extracellular protease highly abundant in melon fruit [152], Cucumisin was shown to have a broad substrate specificity in that it cleaves a variety of small peptide substrates and eight peptide bonds within the oxidized insulin B chain [153-155]. A similar, broad...

We obtained a data set containing the spectra of three different cultivars of the same fruit (cantaloupe, Cucumis melo L. cantalupensis) from Colin Greensill (Faculty of Engineering and Physical Systems, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Australia). The cultivars (named D, M, and HA) had sizes 490, 106, and 500, and all spectra were measured in 256 wavelengths. The data set thus contains 1096 observations and 256 variables.
