Antibacterial effect of 405±5nm light emitting diode illumination against Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella on the surface of fresh-cut mango and its influence on fruit quality.

To investigate a potential of 405±5nm light emitting diode (LED) as a novel technology for food preservation, the antibacterial effect of 405±5nm LED on Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella spp. on the surface of fresh-cut mango and its influence on fruit quality were evaluated at different storage temperatures.
