Few investigations have evaluated the effects of light-based
technologies on sensory properties of food. Donahue et al. (2004)
reported that apple cider exposed to UV light (energy dosage of
17.54 mJ/cm2) showed no significant difference to an untreated
control in terms of flavour. Similarly, Tandon et al. (2003) reported
that UV treated apple cider tested by sensory panel immediately
after processing did not differ from thermally pasteurized samples
in preference scores or average preference ranking
