Abstract:Antifungal effects of ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation have been considered a potential solution to reduce the severity of black spots on postharvest fruits. In this work, a 30 × 30 × 30 cm system was made based on UV-C light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to apply in reducing disease symptoms for bananas which could be used in industrial conveyor belts. The UV-C irradiance monitoring was carefully carried out for several sections at various box heights in simulation and measurement. The findings experienced a dominat… Show more
