ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF RADIATION-PASTEURIZING FRESH STRAWBERRIES, PEACHES, TOMATOES, GRAPES, ORANGES, AND GRAPEFRUIT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4631569
Results are reported from a survey of the produce industry on the feasibility of using radiation processing to extend the storage life of fresh strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, grapes, oranges, and grapefruit. A majority of the respondents thought that radiation processing would increase the production and market volume of the selected fruits and vegetables surveyed but would not change output and sales volume of camned, frozen, and other processed forms. Cost estimates of radiation processing are discussed. (C.H.)
