Abstract

The article shows the results of impact of white and ultraviolet light on color of apples during storage. The light with spectrum from 312-600nm, applied for 72 hours, significantly increases the intensity apple color variety Jonathan Gold. This technology leads to increase the marketability of fruits, harvested under sub-optimal conditions.
