The expansion of the fresh fruit business brings both possibilities and problems for supplying high-quality fruits to the market. Furthermore, the usage of ozonated water as part of Tefa Smart Green House (SGH) strategic procedures to retain the freshness of Minimally Fresh Processed (MFP) fruit was required; also, research into pesticide contamination residues has not been widely conducted. This study used a portable ozonation apparatus (Leka OZ3000) that has been adapted to create an ozone solution of 1.6 ppm (O1), 0.8 ppm (O2), and 0.4 ppm (O3) and was utilized on Tefa SGH Polije melon slices with ozone contact durations of 10 minutes (T1) and 20 minutes (T2), respectively. Moreover, the fruit was kept at room temperature in polypropylene packaging for 3 days (S1) and 5 days (S2). For the pesticide treatment, the melons were previously prepped with 3 grams of Dithane in 1 liter of water in the form of spraying. Pesticide residues were included in the analysis (HPLC method). The findings indicated an 80% Mankozeb residual of 0.5875 mg/kg (S1), whereas using ozone at 1.6 ppm (T2) revealed an 80% Mankozeb residue of 0.1682 mg/kg (S1).
