Abstract：To prevent the browning and softening of young cantaloupe prefabricated food during processing,this study utilized young cantaloupe as the raw material,and optimized through a combination of single factor test and orthogonal test for NaHCO3 blanching conditions,green-preserving reagents(citric acid,D-sodium erythorbate and phytic acid)and crispness-preserving reagents(CaCl2,calcium lactate and sodium alginate)formula,and the Δa∗,PPO activity,POD activity,and hardness were analyzed.The results indicated that the optimal blanching conditions were NaHCO3 mass fraction 0.08%,and a blanching time of 60 seconds.The optimal green and crispness preserving reagents formula were 0.3%citric acid,0.4%D-ascorbic acid,0.3%phytic acid,0.4%CaCl2,0.6%calcium lactate and 0.3%sodium alginate.Under this formula for 20 minutes,Δa∗ of young cantaloupe prefabricated food was 0.93,the hardness was 5 188.75 g,PPO activity was 11.35 U/g,POD activity was 8.49 U/g,and sensory score was 89.19 points.The product exhibited uniform color,crispness and delicious,and good quality.After 30 days of storage,the sensory score of the young cantaloupe prefabricated food were maintained at 84～89 points,indicating that it possessed better storage stability and market promotion potential.
