Abstract：This paper analyzed and studied the changes in product quality within cold storage shelf life
of 6 muskmelon varieties or optimum combination materials after fresh-cut processing and stored at 4 ℃ for 7
days．The overall visual quality，tissue conductivity，total soluble solids，pulp firmness and color（b* and L* value），respiratory rate were determined as main evaluation factors for fresh-cut muskmelon processing，
through statistical analysis，correlation analysis and factor evaluation．The weight of above mentioned main
evaluation factors was 37.96%，23.73%，15.40%，10.02%，6.42%，4.01% and 2.46%，respectively，and
determined by analytic hierarchy process．The suitability of fresh-cut muskmelon samples cold storage within
7 days was ranked and evaluated by grey relational degree analysis．The more suitable fresh-cut muskmelon
samples were screened out as F204（variety named ‘Chuanmijinyu’）and F89，of which F204 had the best
manifestation．
