This study investigated the effect of gamma irradiation (0, 3 and 5 kGy) on the quality characteristics of yacare caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) meat under typical storage and commercialization conditions (−18 °C for 150 days). The overall quality characteristics (texture profile, TBARS values, water-holding capacity and cooking loss) of the irradiated samples were not significantly affected (P > 0.05) during frozen storage. However, irradiation promoted the formation of volatile compounds from lipid oxidation known to be important markers in meat odor, particularly hexanal, pentanal and 1-hexanol, in samples treated with 5 kGy after 150 days of frozen storage. The results obtained indicate the need for further research to determine the effect of the doses tested on the sensory attributes of yacare caiman meat.
