- ItemSensory Attributes of Non-irradiated and Irradiated Semi-dried Fish during Ambient Temperature Storage(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1993) Vinh, P.Q.; Alur, M.D; Nair, P.MGamma irradiation of semi-dried Bombay duck and shrimps at a dose of 3 kGy controlled effectively infestation during prolonged storage. ln addition mould growth was also controlled in Bombay duck. Ammoniacal odour found in non-irradiated shrimps was not detectable in ir-radiated shrimps. Thus, gamma radiation resulted in insect-free, mould-free and acceptable semi-dried fish.
- ItemStorage Properties of Gamma-Irradiated Semi-dried Fish Varieties(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1993) Vinh, P .Q; Alur, M.D; Nair, P.MSeveral varieties of semi-dried unirradiated and irradiated (1&3 kGy) fish, namely, anchovies (Stulephorus commersonn), Bombay duck (llarpodon nehereus), shrimp (Penaeus indicus) and Vietnam scad (Alepes mate) were stored at ambient temperature (26°C). During the course of storage, quality characteristics such as total bacterial count (TBC), mould count and biochemical indices of freshness were studied. These studies indicated that initial TBC of semi-dried fish varied from 7(1)-54(X) cfu per g of fish, while mould count ranged from 27-15(X) cfu per g. llowever, upon irradiation at 3 kGy, initial bacterial load was considera bly reduced. Vietnam scad was not contaminated with mould after 35 months of storage at room temperature. Indices such as TVA and TVBN increased during storage at room temperature for both unirradiated and irradiated samples.
