Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the shelf life of minimally processed (MP) watercress exposed to gamma radiation with doses of 1.0; 3.0; 4.0 kGy. Packaged irradiated and non-irradiated MP watercress was subject to sensory analysis. A panel consisting of 25-30 non-trained members, aged 20-55 years, was used. Sensory evaluation was carried out on days 0, 2, 5, 7, 9 and 12 after treatment with packages maintained at 7 °C. The members of the panel rated each sample for overall liking on a hybrid 10 hedonic … Show more

“…In addition, many spoilage microorganisms are psychrotrophic, which contributes to reduced shelf life and indicates that sanitizing operations during processing were inefficient (Vitti et al 2004). Martins et al (2007) observed a reduction in the population of psychrotrophic microorganisms in minimally processed watercress subjected to different irradiation doses (1 kGy to 4 kGy).…”
