TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of UV-C irradiation on the polyphenolic content and in-vitro total antioxidant activity of apple juice and found that polyphenols, sugar, polyphenol, and total phenols were well retained regardless of the UV-c exposure for apple juice.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that contact angle hysteresis is an equilibrium property of a capillary system in a gravitational field and that the contact angle difference predicted to exist in the presence of gravity does not violate the Young equation, but does impose a restriction on the equilibrium adsorption isotherms at the solid-vapor and solid-liquid interfaces.

TL;DR: A novel mechanistic model that describes the vacuum UV advanced oxidation process in an annular photoreactor initiated by 172 nm and 185 nm (in combination with 253.7 nm, with and without exogenous H2O2) is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: It is clearly demonstrated that high levels of inactivation of pathogens can be achieved in skim milk, and suggests significant potential for UV-C treatment of treating fluids that exhibit significant scattering, as well as providing scientific evidence of the potential use of UV technology in inactivating pathogenic bacteria and model viruses.

TL;DR: UV-C irradiation in inactivating bacterial and viral surrogates at commercially relevant doses of 0-120mJ·cm-2 clearly demonstrated that high levels of inactivation of pathogens can be achieved in coconut water, and suggested potential method for UV-C treatment of other liquid foods.
