摘要
Gamma radiation processing was found to extend shelf life of fresh turmeric. A 5 kGy radiation dose and 10 degrees C storage temperature was found to keep peeled turmeric samples microbe free and acceptable until 60 days of storage. The control sample without radiation treatment spoiled within a week of storage. The changes in color, texture and moisture content of fresh turmeric due to radiation treatment were found to be statistically insignificant. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
