Title: RADIATION STERILIZATION OF COCOA POWDERS. Report No. 5 (Final), February 17, 1959-February 16, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4832346

Results of studies on the effects of various dosages of gamma radiation upon the blooming characteristics and flavor of chocolate coatings, cocoa, and chocolate syrup showed that dosage levels that produce satisfactory results for controlling microorganisms in cocoas, cocoa butters, and chocolate coatings result in the development of off-flavors. No off-flavors were detected in chocolate syrups with a low fat content. (C.H.)
