نبذة مختصرة : Melons (Cucumis melo L.) and peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) are two commercially important fruit species in the European Union. The quality improvement of melon and peach cultivars is determinant to maintain and increase their acceptance and consumption. In this context, the main objective of this thesis was to investigate key quality attributes of melon and peach fruit cultivars through the correlation of sensory and instrumental methodologies. The correlation of sensory and instrumental methods allowed to identify specific parameters with a positive or negative contribution to the sensory perception of melon and peach fruits, either directly or by their interaction with other quality traits. The combination of these methodologies provided important information for a comprehensive assessment of quality and their application can improve melon and peach fruit quality without compromising other valuable quality traits
