Pass Ratio : 100%
XYZ Company wanted to reduce the microbial risk involved with its fresh fruits and vegetables. Hence it introduced Ultra-violet C process which is a photochemical process which reduces the number of microbes (not completely sterilizing them). What else do you think this does?
Induces the synthesis of certain health promoting compounds
Resistance against pathogens
DNA damage
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
Ultra-violet C processing induces the synthesis of certain health promoting compounds and resistance against pathogens but excessive exposure can lead to DNA damage of cells of fruits/ vegetables.
