Effect of UVC on the content of total phenolic compounds. Acerola fruits without (UV−) or with UVC treatment (UV+), were stored at 10 °C for 0 day (Day 0) or 7 days (Day 7) and subjected to quantification of total phenolic compounds by LC–MS analysis (Table 1). Data, obtained from at least three biological repeats, are shown as mean ± SE values. Different letters indicate significant differences by the ANOVA/Tukey-HSD (p < 0.05).
