Application of UV-C light to improve safety and overall quality of fish: A systematic review and meta-analysis

UV-C light is a promising non-thermal preservation technology for fish industries due to its ease and low-cost regarding installation and maintenance. Moreover, this technology can ensure food safety and extend the fish's shelf life without adverse effects of physicochemical and sensory characteristics when adequate doses are applied. However, these aspects are the main gap in literature and challenge for industrial application. In this context,...
