Abstract

The paper considers an experimental study of processing sweet cherries with ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet irradiation is an alternative to chemical sterilization used to reduce the growth of microorganisms in foods. Ultraviolet radiation further induces defense mechanisms in metabolically active plant tissues, in the same way that ultraviolet treatment has been observed to cause accumulation of polyamines, which can act as antioxidants in fruit, causing a reduction in microorganism spoilage symptoms.
