The effect of CO60 on the physical and physicochemical properties of rice

Abstract: Owing to its chemical composition and production chain, rice is susceptible to contamination by fungi. Among other techniques, the application of gamma radiation has been suggested as a method to ensure food safety. However, such radiation can alter the chemical composition of the food. Thus, the objective of the present work is to evaluate the centesimal composition, caloric value, pH, total titratable acidity, and coloration of polished white rice subjected to different doses of Co 60 gamma radiation (0 kGy,… Show more

“…suggest that the doses of gamma radiation tested did not produce significant changes; this agrees with other studies such as that of Oliveira [26], who irradiated rice with doses of 6.5 to 7.5 kGy, and claim that there was no alteration in their nutritional quality. Similarly, Farkas [27] stated that treatments with doses between 2.0 and 7.0 kGy do not affect the nutritional properties, sensory quality or physical properties of food.…”
