UV-C irradiation affects quality, antioxidant compounds and activity of Musa AAA Berangan
A study to determine the effects of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation on fruit quality, antioxidant compounds and activities of Musa AAA Berangan was carried out. The mature green fruits were exposed to UV-C doses of 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 kJ/m2 and allowed to ripen at 25±2oC for 5 days. Peel a...
