The article determines physical and chemical parameters, vitamin composition, mineral elements, organic acids, and fatty acid composition of the "Kolkhoznitsa" and "Mirzachulskaya" melon varieties. The results of the studies did not reveal the excess of the permissible concentrations of such toxic elements like arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, the presence of toxic pesticides hexachlorocyclohexane (HCG) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), mold, the amount of the number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (NMAFAM) and yeast is within the permissible limits. In view of the rich chemical composition of the melon varieties "Kolkhoznitsa" and "Mirzachulskaya", it is advisable to use them for processing and production of long-term storage products, high nutritional and biological value in order to expand the range of products from non-traditional types of food raw materials with a high content of biologically active substances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
