A LITERATURE SURVEY ON THE EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATIONS ON SEA FOODS WITH RESPECT TO WHOLESOMENESS ASPECTS (CONTINUATION)

摘要

This review represents a continuation of an earlier report which critically evaluated the literature pertaining to the effects of ionizing radiations on the wholesomeness of sea foods. In this review, as in the earlier report, the problem is discussed in terms of three parameters:changes in the microflora on sea food following treatment with ionizing radiation;radiation-induced changes in the organoleptic qualities of marine products;wholesomeness of irradiated sea food in terms of changes in nutrients and the possible production of toxic factors.nIn all three areas, the pertinent literature which has become available during the past year since the previous report was completed was assessed and critically evaluated. In addition, a number of papers not reported earlier were also discussed.
