Postharvest <scp>LED</scp> lighting: effect of <scp>r</scp>ed, <scp>b</scp>lue and <scp>f</scp>ar <scp>r</scp>ed on quality of minimally processed broccoli sprouts

Abstract

Our results suggest that minimally processed sprouts may benefit from LED lighting during shelf life in terms of quality, although further experiments should be conducted to optimize a proper exposure cycle and intensity aiming for use in the distribution chain. The results also open the way for further development towards the integration of this technology in the food distribution chain.
