Barka, Kalantari, Makhlouf, and Aru

Barka, Kalantari, Makhlouf, and Arul (2000) also reported that treatment of green tomatoes with UV-C light (peak output of 254 nm) reduces cell-wall degrading enzyme activity.
Although UV light seems to have a physiological effect on tomatoes, to our knowledge there are no reports on the effect of UV light treatment on the concentration of the major carotenoids in tomatoes.
