Effect of Various Doses of Electron Beam Irradiation Treatment on the Quality Characteristics of Vacuum-Packed Dry Fermented Sausage during Refrigerated Storage
Abstract:In this study, we investigated the effect of electron beam irradiation on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory attributes of dry fermented sausage during 8 weeks of refrigerated storage at 4°C. The five doses of e-beam irradiation applied were: 0 kGy (control) and 1, 2, 3, and 4 kGy. All the experimental treatments led to a significant decrease in pH values during the storage period of 60 days (P<0.05). The 2-kGy treatment caused a significant (P<0.05) decrease in pH value, bacterial growth (total… Show more
