Irradiation of dried products. Untersuchungen zur Bestrahlung von Trockenprodukten

Abstract

Typical dry products such as gums, drugs and spices were irradiated with 10 MeV electrons up to doses of 30 kGy. Such treatments led in the majority of cases to an undesirable change in the reological properties of gums. The ingredients of drugs, especially essential volatiles, remained unchanged. In individual cases, however, a dose of 10 kGy was not sufficient to reduce total microbial counts. Changes in the sensory properties were not observed, but with the previous tested spices pronounced changes in sensory properties were not observed, but pronounced changes in colour at doses of 10 kGy were observed. These changes did not affect the quality, however. Changes in taste and odour were not recognizable. To reduce microbial counts as desired, a dose of 10 kGy was sufficient.
