Utilization of LED illumination coupled with UV-C irradiation to improve the post-harvest quality of radish microgreens

Microgreens are an emerging class of fresh vegetables that have been recognized as health -promoting foods due to their high phytonutrients and bioactive compounds. However, the major limitation to the growth of the microgreens industry is rapid quality deterioration upon harvest. Several studies have demonstrated that UV-C treatment may be an effective tool to extend the shelf life of fresh vegetables. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of different LED illumination and UV-C...
