ShareQuality maintenance of "ready-to-eat" shredded carrots by gamma irradiation.

Type of article: Article
Summary
Shredded carrots were either chlorinated, rinsed, and spin-dried as in industrial processes, or irradiated (2 kilograys), replacing the three steps. During storage at 10 deg C, atmospheres inside microporous plastic bags stabilized at 7-15% O2 and 10-15% CO2. Sugar levels in tissues were twice as high in irradiated samples as in chlorinated ones. Irradiation also prevented losses of orange colour and carotenes. Growth of aerobic mesophilic and lactic microflora was strongly inhibited by irradiation. Sensory analysis demonstrated preferences for irradiated vegetables.
