EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND DAIRY PRODUCTS. Report No. 3 (Progress), November 1, 1959-April 30, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4072201
Canned raw whole milk was irradiated at doses up to 4.5 Mrad. The number of bacteria was reduced from 5 35 x 10/sup 6/ to less than 1 per ml at 1.6 Mrad, but the flavor was one of burnt feathers and rancidity. Subsequent passage of the irradiated milk through a batch-type deodorizer eliminated most of the burnt feather flavor, but the rancid flavor persisted. (auth)
