Cantaloupes are a hugely popular fruit to have for breakfast, dessert, snacks, and summertime picnics. The recent development of sweeter and seedless varieties continues to improve the popularity of this tasty melon. The transportation of cantaloupes relies on the cold chain. To keep cantaloupes fresh throughout the shipping process, the temperature should be carefully monitored to make sure it stays within an acceptable range.

After the cantaloupes are harvested and placed in storage, they should be kept within a temperature range of 36-41 degrees Fahrenheit. They must be allowed to cool after harvest, or they would continue to ripen and could begin to decay before they have had a chance to reach the final consumer. Keeping them too warm for too long could also encourage pests and mold to thrive, thus destroying the melon’s quality. However, cantaloupes are tropical fruits that grow in particularly warm climates, and as a result, they do not handle overly cold temperatures well. Cantaloupes, like many other melons, are extremely frost-sensitive. They may stay nice if kept in temperatures colder than 36 degrees Fahrenheit, but the moment they are removed from those temperatures, they will begin rapidly deteriorating. 

Temperatures that are too hot or too cold can negatively impact the fruit’s shelf life in different ways, and fluctuating temperatures can result in rapid deterioration and decay.
