SUMMARY REPORT ON IRRADIATION PRESERVATIVE OF FISHERY PRODUCTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841100
Market forms of shrimp, oysters, and crab meat were selected for study of irradiation preservation. With one exception, irradiation with gamma rays was not found to hold promise as a means of preservation for the fishery products included in this investigation. The refrigerated storage life of the fresh picked meat of the blue crab could be prolonged from a normal maximum of 10 days to 3 months by irradiation at pasteurization levels of 0.50 to 1.0 megarads. The other products tested were, in general, adversely affected by any levels of irradiation which would prolong normal storage life. (M.C.G.)
