TREATMENT OF MEATS WITH IONISING RADIATIONS. IV. COMPARISON OF THE DETERIORATION IN QUALITY DURING STORAGE OF EVISCERATED CHICKEN CARCASSES TREATED WITH CHLORTETRACYCLINE OR RADIATION
Eviscerated chicken carcasses were treated with chlortetracycline (CTC) or irradiated with 0.3 or 0.6 Mrad and then stored at 0 deg C. Changes in quality during storage up to 26 days were studied, and microbial counts made on the carcasses. A dose of 0.6 Mrad caused a fairly rapid decline in quality; but with 0.3 Mrad or CTC, deterioration of quality was only noticed when the carcasses had been stored at O deg C for 19 days or longer. This loss of quality was not due to the growth of microorganisms. (auth)
