Abstract: Hormesis has defined as stimulation by low doses of any potentially harmful agent.In this study, enrichment of phenolics such as pelargonin 때d cyanin in strawberries was investigated using UV hormesis.When the harvested strawberries were stimulated by UV-A with the energy levels of 5.94 mJ/cm 2 and 19.38 mJ/cm 2 and UV-C with the energy levels of 10.68 mJ/cm 2 and 19.53 mJ/cm 2 , enrichment of pelargonin 뻐d cyanin contents was showed at the signigicant levels of 10.6% and 2.9%, respectively, which were analyzed statistically by a general linear model.At the same time, changes in strawberry quality in the aspects of weight, length, width, color, fumness, soluble solids content, electrical conductivity and pH were investigated.The changes in strawberry quality was negligible while enrichment of phen이ics can be obtained by UV hormesis.
