- UV-C effect on postharvest quality of citrus fruits from the northeastern region of Valle del Cauca, Colombia Julián Acevedo-Daza Jorge Andrés Villegas-Ciro Valentina Pineda-Sepulveda Juan Camilo Jaramillo González Viviana Restrepo-Cubillos Jessica Tatiana Peña-García José Hernán Soto-Bastidas Liseth Tatiana Buitrago-Pinilla Johanna Valentina Arroyo-Merino Diana Carolina Ñañez-Palacio Diego Fernando Castro-Vargas Esteban Largo-Ávila Alba Mery Garzón-García Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Fruit irradiation color measurement ultraviolet short wave physicochemical analyses storage at room temperature Ultraviolet short wave (UV-C) irradiation is an emerging technology employed in postharvest fruits treatment. This method facilitates a reduction in microbial load, triggers an elicitor effect, and prolongs the shelf life of fruits. The aim of this research was to assess the impact of UV-C treatment on the physicochemical parameters, morphology, and surface color of the primary citrus fruits cultivated in the northeastern region of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Fruits of rangpur red lime, Tahitian lime, and sweet orange cv. ‘Sweety’ were irradiated with UV-C for 5 min. A positive control involved samples treated with a 150 mg/L sodium hypochlorite solution for 5 min, while the negative control comprised samples without any postharvest treatment. Subsequently, the fruits were stored in plastic baskets for 21 d at 26 °C with a relative humidity of 70 %. The results revealed that UV-C application effectively delayed maturation, prevented granulation, and maintained the physicochemical parameters, morphology, and surface color of citrus fruits during storage. In conclusion, UV-C shows promise as a technology for treating citrus fruits during the postharvest stage, offering a means to mitigate losses, and assuring food availability. 2024 artículo científico 1665-1456 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=672978747028 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6729/672978747028/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6729/672978747028/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6729/672978747028/672978747028.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6729/672978747028/movil 10.18633/biotecnia.v26.2303 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6729 Biotecnia application/pdf Universidad de Sonora Biotecnia (México) Vol.26
