Anthocyanin is responsible for the red color of apple. Ultraviolet light plays a key role in activating the genes responsible for anthocyanin biosynthesis. However, the most important concern is using UV light irradiation on fruit to increase anthocyanins level and its nutritional quality. In this study, the accumulation of anthocyanin in green apple using UV-B and UV-C was investigated and its biological influence was evaluated in rats.
