Short‐wavelength ultraviolet (UV‐C) irradiation is a nonthermal processing technique that is a possible alternative to the heat pasteurization of tea beverages. A study published in the Journal of Food Science suggests that UV‐C irradiation may not significantly deplete antioxidants or produce cytotoxic byproducts in green tea beverages. The researchers investigated the effect of UV‐C irradiation […]
