Effects of UV-C irradiation on the physicochemical properties of freeze-dried beetroot (<i>Beta vulgaris</i>) powder
Freeze-dried beetroot powder was treated with UV-C irradiation and the effects on quality and powder characteristics were observed. Treated powders showed higher loose and tapped bulk density, lower hygroscopicity and enhanced bioactivity.
