Nagai, N.Y. | Moy, J.H.

The effects of gamma irradiation at 0.30-1.0 kGy (30-100 krad) on sensory qualities, certain biochemical components, and short-term storage life of Valencia oranges were examined. Irradiation at 0.75 kGy maintained food quality during 7 degree C storage for 7 weeks, while 0.50 kGy irradiation retained food quality at 21 degrees C. Irradiation at 0.26-0.30 kGy accomplished fruit fly disinfection while preserving market qualities of the oranges. (wz)
