| "The fruit has a smooth hard rind, usually green with dark green stripes or yellow spots, and a juicy, sweet interior flesh, usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow, or white, with many seeds... The seeds have a nutty flavor and can be dried and roasted, or ground into flour... Another objective of plant breeders has been the elimination of the seeds which occur scattered throughout the flesh. This has been achieved through the use of triploid varieties, but these are sterile, and the cost of producing the seed, through crossing a tetraploid parent with a normal diploid parent, is high."

| "The key to identifying the key components responsible for fresh-cut watermelon aroma was the application of a suitable volatile isolation strategy based on static headspace analysis (SHA). In this study, SHA was used to collect the headspace volatiles one minute after initial cutting of the fruit. This enabled a chemical “snap shot” of fresh-cut aroma to be taken. The most potent odorants in the headspace were determined by gas chromatography-olfactometry of decreasing headspace volumes (GCO-H) with confirmation achieved by application of a complimentary method based on GCO and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) of fresh-cut watermelon aroma extracts prepared by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE). Eight unsaturated nine-carbon aliphatic aldehydes and one six carbon unsaturated aldehyde were detected by GCO-H. These included cis-3-hexenal, cis,cis-3,6-nonadienal, cis-3-nonenal, cis-6-nonenal, trans-2-nonenal, cis-2-nonenal, trans,cis-2,6-nonadienal, trans,trans-2,4-nonadienal, and trans,trans,cis-2,4,6-nonatrienal. This finding is contrary to previous beliefs that alcohols are the main contributors to fresh-cut watermelon aroma. Most importantly, it was found that cis,cis-3,6-nonadienal was not only a potent odorant, but this compound alone possessed an aroma reminiscent of fresh-cut watermelon. Use of sensory evaluation, including ranking test, revealed that the aroma attributes of purified synthetic cis,cis-3,6-nonadienal closely matched those of fresh-cut watermelon. This “watermelon aldehyde” can be considered a potent odorants since its estimated odor detection threshold (in water) is very low (0.2 ppb). Unfortunately, cis,cis-3,6-nonadienal is a labile compound and is prone to both trans isomerization and oxidation of its aldehyde end group." \\ | "The key to identifying the key components responsible for fresh-cut watermelon aroma was the application of a suitable volatile isolation strategy based on static headspace analysis (SHA).

| "The dominant components detected by solid phase microextraction were six- (C6) and nine-carbon (C9) alcohols and aldehydes, similar to those found in watermelon extracts and in other cucurbits... Nine-carbon compounds have been attributed aromas typical of watermelon, melon, and other cucurbits. For instance, (Z)-3-nonenol imparts a fresh melon scent, (Z,Z)-3,6-nonadienol imparts a sweet peeled watermelon scent, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal and a cucumber scent and (E)-2-nonenal, a pervasive oily odor. (Z,Z)-3,6-nonadienol alcohol was found to contribute more to the watermelon scent (YAJIMA et al., 1995). These reports agree with the results of this study since with the help of chromatography/olfactometry it was concluded that characteristic watermelon scent is mainly imparted by nine-carbon aldehydes and alcohols... \\ | "The dominant components detected by solid phase microextraction were six- (C6) and nine-carbon (C9) alcohols and aldehydes, similar to those found in watermelon extracts and in other cucurbits...
