Blueberry fruit response to postharvest application of ultraviolet radiation
TLDR
In this article, postharvest application of UV-C radiation can decrease decay caused by ripe rot in blueberries and may enhance antioxidant levels, but no clear treatment effects were seen in total phenolic content.About:

Blueberries and Their Anthocyanins: Factors Affecting Biosynthesis and Properties
Winny Routray,Valérie Orsat +1 more
TL;DR: Blueberries are well known for their nutritional and beneficial health effects, however, information concerning the physiology behind the blueberry beneficial effects is still lacking, and research is lagging behind on advanced methods of extracting blueberry anthocyanins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blueberry anthocyanins in health promotion: A metabolic overview
TL;DR: The chemistry of blueberries (BB) (fruits of some Vaccinium species) was summarised as well as the knowledge about bioavailability and biokinetic of anthocyanins from blueberries with particular emphasis on its implications in metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes of flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity in blueberries after illumination with UV-C.
TL;DR: The levels of flavonoids in blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L) were found to increase after illumination with UV-C as mentioned in this paper, and significantly higher antioxidant capacity was detected in fruit treated with 2.15, 4.30, or 6.45 kJ m.
