Abstract
In this study, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Ait.) Hassk. (sim) fruits were treated with UV-B radiation for 0, 1, 3 and 6 hours with an average fluency rate of 0.67 mW/cm 2 at a distance of 30 cm. Fruits were, then, stored at 8 °C to 10 °C for 21 days. During storage, the fruits were analysed for hardness, total soluble solids, and total dry matter every 7 days. The total phenolics, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity of the skin+pulp and the seed parts were determined. The results showed that the storage time and UV-B irradiation time significantly affected the antioxidant phenolic content of both skin+pulp and seed parts. The total polyphenols and antioxidant capacity increased immediately after UV-B treatment and decreased during storage. UV-B irradiation slowed down the decrease of antioxidant phenolic compounds in the fruit during storage. This indicated that UV-B irradiation could be a potential way to enhance phenolic antioxidants in fruits rich in phenolics.
期刊介绍：
The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is an electronic rolling pass publication with free access, whose purpose is to publish unpublished articles based on original research results and technological information that significantly contribute to the dissemination of new knowledge related to production and evaluation of food in the areas of science, technology, food engineering and nutrition (non-clinical). Manuscripts of national or international scope are accepted, presenting new concepts or experimental approaches that are not only repositories of scientific data. The Journal publishes original articles, review articles, scientific notes, case reports, and short communication in Portuguese and English. The submission of a manuscript presupposes that the same paper is not under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle. Articles specifically contemplating analytical methodologies will be accepted as long as they are innovative or provide significant improvement to existing methods. It is at the discretion of the Editors, depending on the subject relevance, the acceptance of works with test results of industrialized products without the information necessary to manufacture them. Papers aimed essentially at commercial propaganda will not be accepted.
