EFFECTS OF LED LIGHT SPECTRA AND 1-MCP ON POSTHARVEST QUALITY AND BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS OF CUCUMBER (CUCUMIS SATIVUS L.) DURING COLD STORAGE

Extending postharvest quality and maintaining the nutritional value of cucumber fruit requires specific storage conditions to postpone senescence and enhance marketability. The postharvest lighting environment is a main factor that influences quality preservation for harvested biomass. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different light emitting diodes (LED) spectra…
