Summary

STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF IONIZING RADIATION ON EXTENDING THE SHELF LIFE OF MACKEREL STORED AT 274-276 K (1-3 DEG C). AT THIS STORAGE TEMPERATURE, THE MAXIMUM SHELF LIFE OF NON-IRRADIATED FISH WAS 7 DAYS, WHEREAS IRRADIATED FISH CAN BE STORED UP TO 3 WEEKS WITH BACTERIAL COUNTS 1.25 TIMES LESS THAN THE UNTREATED PRODUCTS. MOISTURE AND PROTEIN CONTENTS WERE LOWER IN THE TREATED FISH AND DRIP LOSS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING STORAGE, BUT THIS CAN BE MINIMIZED BY DIPPING FILLETS IN 10% SODIUM POLYPHOSPHATE PRIOR TO IRRADIATION. HIGHER SENSORY SCORES WERE GIVEN TO IRRADIATED FILLETS AFTER COOKING.
