Abstract
A LED (light emitting diode) was attached inside the cold compartment of a home refrigerator to investigate a possible effect on freshness prolongation of cabbage over 10 d of storage. The LED increased chlorophyll synthesis, inhibited vitamin C degradation and increased the content of phenolics, compared to values measured in cabbages stored in an identical refrigerator without the LED. In the refrigerator with the LED, the color of cabbage leaves remained green for a period fourfold longer than that seen in a conventional refrigerator. Vitamin C content was twice that of a conventionally stored cabbage, and phenolic consent was 14% higher in the LED-illuminated vegetables.
