- Intervention effect UV-C induced tomato fruit lipid peroxidation markers during the first five days.
- Mechanism The early marker induction suggests tomato fruit membranes were the primary UV-C target.
- Mechanism The later fall in tomato peroxidation markers suggests antioxidant production or enzyme activation as repair.
- Observation In the second phase, peroxidation changes reflected tomato ripening or senescence.
