Abstract
The increasing application of edible plants in several food commodities demands new technological approaches to improve their distribution and marketing as fresh products. Prolonging post-harvest storage, while preserving the whole quality of plants, these facts will benefit their industrial development, as well as the consumers' health. This study applied irradiation technologies, using electron-beam and gamma-irradiation in different doses, to a widespread and highly appreciated edible flower species, T. majus, and demonstrated that these technologies/doses did not compromise the phenolic compounds composition and antioxidant activity.
