Abstract

Studies were made to investigate the influence of vacuum packing after irradiating mean doses of gamma ray at freezing temperature $(-20^{\circ}C)$ on the keeping quality and color of raw beef. Fresh round steaks were packaged anaerobically in aluminum foil, and irradiated with 0.25 and 0.5 Mrad followed by storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The shelf life of beef irradiated with 0.5 Mrad could be extended about 10 days longer than unirradiated, and the off-odors was not developed. The discoloration by irradiation was shown, but soon reverted to about 90 percentage myoglobin in 20 hours.

진공포장과 극저온에서의 중선량조사가 우육의 저장성 및 육색에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 aluminum foil로 진공포장하고 0.25 Mrad와 0.5Mrad로 조사한 후 $5^{\circ}C$에서 저장했다. 저장 중 우육의 신선도와 육색소의 변화를 경시적으로 측정했다. 우육의 shelf life는 0.5Mard조사로써 비조사육보다 약 10일간 연장되었고 조사취는 나지 않았다. 또한 육색소도 방사선조사에 의하여 약간의 퇴색을 초래했으나 곧 회복되어 약 20시간 후에는 90%의 Mb을 나타냈다.
