A recent study has revealed that violet Light-Emitting-Diode (LED) light can significantly reduce browning in fresh-cut apples by enhancing phenolic compounds and suppressing oxidative enzymes. This discovery not only boosts the visual appeal and shelf life of fresh-cut fruits but also offers a sustainable, chemical-free alternative to a long-standing problem in the food industry.
