Table 1. Changes in decay rate of PMRsupia melons by spoilage inoculation treatment and container type

	Treatment		Storage time (day)
	Treatment		Initial	2w+0	2w+3	2w+6	2w+9
Decay rate (%)	Non-inoculated	Reefer	0.00±0.00^Ab1)	0.00±0.00^Ab	0.00±0.00^Ab	0.00±0.00^Ab	20.00±0.40^Aa
	Non-inoculated	CA	0.00±0.00^Ab	0.00±0.00^Ab	0.00±0.00^Ab	0.00±0.00^Ab	5.00±0.40^Ba
	Inoculated	Reefer	0.00±0.00^Ac	0.00±0.00^Ac	10.00±0.49^Ac	40.00±0.80^Ab	100.00±0.00^Aa

Mean±SD (n=40) with the same uppercase letter vertically and the same lowercase letter horizontally for each parameter do not differ significantly (p<0.5). Statistical analysis of vertical data was performed separately for non-inoculated and inoculated treatments.
