Effect of ultraviolet-C light dose on quality of cut-apple: Microorganism, color and compression behavior
The present study was aimed to: (1) examine the effect of UV-C irradiation at different doses on the surface color of fresh-cut-apple discs stored in refrigeration for 7 days; (2) explore the use of some pretreatments (hot water blanching, dipping into a solution containing ascorbic acid and calcium...
