Melon Manis Terengganu (MMT) is an iconic and official fruit of Terengganu state, Malaysia. MMT is the new melon variety introduced to the farmers in Terengganu as one of the ways to improve their socioeconomic level. The present scoping review attempts to recognise and synthesise the published materials on MMT research and explore the research perspective of MMT. The Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, and Google Scholar online databases have been included in this study to screen the published peer-reviewed documents on MMT research. A total of 15 full articles (with 565 cited references) have been accessed in this study. Publication on MMT began in 2018 where most of the scholars affiliated with Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. The scientific research on MMT is limited, and the research topics are considered emerging knowledge. Biochemistry is the leading research discipline of MMT besides food processing, postharvest, entomology, crop performance and entrepreneurship. This synthesis review contributes to the body of knowledge, especially to the new academicians and scholars, in better understanding the current research progress and possible future research direction of MMT study in Malaysia.

Abstract

Melon Manis Terengganu (MMT) is an iconic and official fruit of Terengganu state, Malaysia. MMT is the new melon variety introduced to the farmers in Terengganu as one of the ways to improve their socioeconomic level. The present scoping review attempts to recognise and synthesise the published materials on MMT research and explore the research perspective of MMT. The Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, and Google Scholar online databases have been included in this study to screen the published peer-reviewed documents on MMT research. A total of 15 full articles (with 565 cited references) have been accessed in this study. Publication on MMT began in 2018 where most of the scholars affiliated with Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. The scientific research on MMT is limited, and the research topics are considered emerging knowledge. Biochemistry is the leading research discipline of MMT besides food processing, postharvest, entomology, crop performance and entrepreneurship. This synthesis review contributes to the body of knowledge, especially to the new academicians and scholars, in better understanding the current research progress and possible future research direction of MMT study in Malaysia.
