Type of article: Article
Summary
Commercially prepared shredded carrots treated with irradiation had a mean microbial population of 1300 colony-forming units per gramme (CFU/g) at the expiration date (9 days after irradiation) compared with 87,000 CFU/g for non-irradiated, chlorinated controls. Oxygen content of the headspace gas and ethanol content of the carrots were not significantly affected. The report concludes that irradiation appears to be a suitable technology for shredded carrots.
