Abstract

In this study, grafted and ungrafted watermelon cultivars were grown in Cukurova region to determine fruit pHtitratable acidity, soluble solids, antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and analysis of sensory evaluation. The highest soluble solids (11.32%) and titratable acidity 0.190 g/100 g were in seedless cultivars. The highest antioxidant activity and total phenolic content was in Argentario+TP84, 80.21% and 137.40 (GAE) mg/kg fresh weight (fw) respectively. For sensory analysis, the most popular cultivars were grafted type.
