The impact of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation on sweet cherry fruit was studied. Following harvest, fruits (cv. Sweetheart) were exposed to different doses of UV-C (0, 1.2, 3.0 or 6.0 kJ m-2) and then cold stored (0 °C) for 10 days. Treatments with UV-C delayed most ripening features and reduced pitting symptoms, particularly following prolonged UV-C application. Also, application of the highest UV-C dose inhibited pectin degradation and delayed skin resistance to penetration. An activation of antioxidants capacity and bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolics was observed. Illumination with UV-C diminished respiration and altered metabolite profile in whole fruit and skin samples. Several amino acids (eg., threonine and aspartate), sugars, (eg., glucose and fructose) and alcohols (e.g., inositol and mannitol) were modulated by long-term UV-C treatment in whole cherry fruit. Various metabolites, including malate, galacturonate, oxoproline and glutamine were also modulated by UV-C skin tissue. These data enhance our understanding of UV-C function in fruit biology
