OBSERVATIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ON VARIOUS FOOD PRODUCTS

Journal Article · · Acta Chim. Sci. Hung.
OSTI ID:4829480
The effects of ionizing radiation on the following were surveyed: For potatoes and onions--better storage conditions during winter and spring, the germination process was delayed, and infection by microorganisms was reduced. For sugarbeets--good storage, and the sugar content increased 1 to 1.5%. Meats, fish, poultry--radiation of fresh articles, in addition to cooling. Vegetables- irradiation at low temperatures increased the duration of preservation. Flour and bread--quality increased in flour on irradiation with 30,000 to 1OO,OOO rep of Co/sup 60/, compressibility of bread, elasticity and porosity of the crusts, flavor, etc., increased. (OID)
