Effect of gamma irradiation on quality of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa cv. Hayward)

Comparative Study on the Sensory Properties of Fuji Apples and Niitaka Pears Irradiated by Gamma Rays, Electron Beams, or X-rays

“…In this study, the firmness of Fuji apples and Niitaka pears was especially reduced at a dose of 800 Gy ( Table 2). The softening of texture in this study was similar to previous findings on apples, citrus, kiwifruits, papayas, and pears (Al-Bachir, 1999;Jung et al, 2014;Kim and Yook, 2009;Miller et al, 2000;Ross and Engeljohn, 2000). Color evaluation To compare the rind colors, the ΔE * ab value was calculated using the Hunter's values.…”

Radioisotopes in Agricultural Industry

“…This injury of food can be avoided by using effective food protection approaches. Radiation can be used to abolish microbes in food and control insect and parasite infestation in gathered food to prevent various types of wastage and spoilage [10]. Irradiation of food is energypreserving when compared with conventional approaches of preserving food to achieve a similar shelf-life [18].…”

Inhibitory effect of gamma irradiation against Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus

“…stolonifera, and Monilinia fructicola (Kim & Yook 2009;Chu et al 2015;Jeong et al 2015). However, the feasibility of using gamma irradiation to inactivate plant viruses in crops has not been established.…”
