Summary

Fresh chicken legs, pork chops and salmon were irradiated with 10 megaelectronvolt electrons and stored at 2 deg C. Cells isolated from muscle tissues were analysed using the DNA comet assay. The cells were embedded in an agarose gel on a microscope slide and subjected to electrophoresis causing DNA and its fragments to migrate in the gel producing a pattern characteristic of the irradiation dose (DNA comet). All irradiated samples could be detected. The unirradiated samples could also be identified by the pattern of their comets.
