Resumen:
The use of irradiation to sanitize fresh-cut fruit surfaces has received increasing attention. In particular, ultraviolet light (UV-C) has been proposed as a germicidal factor to inactivate microorganisms, retard microbial growth, increase shelf life and maintain adequate sensory and nutritional characteristics during storage. The objective of this work was to study the changes in color of UV-C irradiated apple slices and to investigate the use of some pretreatments in order to minimize enzymatic browning during refrigerated storage.
