OSTI ID:4132801
Dried whey was irradiated in doses from 0 to 3.0 x 10/sup 6/ rad. Even at 0.5 x 10/sup 6/ rad, the microorganism population was drastically reduced. No detrimental flavors were noted in white sauce prepared from any of the irradiated samples. Strawberry preserves in covered glass jars were surface irradiated in doses up to lOQ rad. A decrease in mold count was evident. Bleaching and flavor loss occurred at the surface, but no irradiation odor was produced up to the maximum dosage. (auth)
