Summary

The effect of gamma-irradiation doses of 1, 2, 4 and 5 kGy on electron spin resonance (ESR) signal intensity in prepacked irradiated lamb meat chunks containing bones was studied. Irradiation-induced a characteristic ESR signal in bone that was not detected in non-irradiated samples and its intensity was proportional to irradiation dose up to 5 kGy. Results point to the suitability of ESR technique for detection of irradiated lamb meat even after storage or cooking, and also in samples that had been stored and then cooked.
