Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4270961
Data are reported from four studies on the nutritional properties and possible toxicity of foods preserved by radiosterilization. Rats were used as the test animals. Data are included on: growth, liver and blood enzyme activities, and cecal coliform counts in animals maintained on a composite diet of 15 irradiated food items; enzyme studies in animals fed a diet containing irradiated beef; hemorrhagic diathesis in male rats fed irradiated diets; and gross anaphlaxis experiments in animals fed milk treated by exposure to heat, ultraviolet,. or ionizing radiations.
