The purpose of the present investigation was to establish the effect of a combined technological processing - freeze drying and gamma sterilization - with irradiation doses of 2 and 4 kGy on the qualitative characteristics on a set of forest fruits - blackberry, blueberry, aronia, strawberry and black elder. The results prove that the freeze drying technology and the applied irradiation dose of 2 kGy is sufficient to preserve the quality and prolong the shelf life of the studied products without damage of their physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics.
