Abstract: In order to define the effect of different preservative films on quality of fresh-cut Hami melon, the fresh-cut Hami melons were packaged by PE film, PE microbore film, OPP film and PVC film with the thickness of 0.03 mm, stored at 5 ℃ and 85%~95% RH for 13 days, testing their respiration rate, weight loss rate, firmness, luminosity, content of total soluble solid and vitamin C, activity of PG and CX, and sensory characteristics at days of 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13. Fresh-cut Hami melons packaged with 0.03 mm PE film showed low respiration rate and moisture loss, maintained content of total soluble solid, vitamin C, firmness and luminosity well, restrained the activity of PG and CX obviously. PE film (0.03 mm) is the optimal package film for fresh-cut Hami melon. Overall fresh-cut Hami melon packaged with it, stored at 5 ℃ and 85%~95% RH for 10 days still maintained good commodity value.
