Energy-saving technology for storage of cherry

Abstract

Results of studies on extension of storage (shelf) life of cherries by treatment with ultraviolet light are presented. The most important indicators characterizing quality of cherry are considered. Analysis of variance of weight of cherries treated with ultraviolet light had been investigated. The Duncan Test for weight loss of cherries treated with ultraviolet rays was performed. Further studies and tests to determine quality of cherry had been carried out as well.
