Summary

IRRADIATION OF COD FILLETS WITH A MAXIMUM ABSORBED DOSE OF 1 KILOGRAY EXTENDED ICED STORAGE LIFE BY ABOUT 9 DAYS. FURTHER EXTENSION OF SEVERAL DAYS RESULTED WHEN IRRADIATION WAS COMBINED CONCURRENTLY WITH EITHER 60% CO2 PACKAGING ATMOSPHERE OR SORBATE ADDITIVE. PACKAGING AT LOW OXYGEN TENSION DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FOR IRRADIATED FISH. NO IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IN STORAGE LIFE OF TREATED FISH WAS OBSERVED DUE TO ONE VS THREE DAY POSTMORTEM AGE. CONCENTRATIONS OF TRIMETHYLAMINE, DIMETHYLAMINE, HYPOXANTHINE, AEROBIC PLATE COUNT AND PH AT SPOILAGE WERE COMPARABLE IN CONTROL AND AIR-IRRADIATED SAMPLES, BUT WERE LESS IN SORBATE-IRRADIATED FILLETS.
