Notizen:
Increasing dosages of gamma radiation from Cobalt-60 source resulted in an almost linear reduction of the Aerobic Plate Counts (APC) in onion powder. An average minimum exposure of 900 K-rads was chosen to achieve reduction in counts to below 25,000 per gram even for powders with high initial counts. Treatment was equally effective in powders of different qualities. Powder in commercial packs (55 gal drums or 5 0-1b bag-in-box) showed the expected reduction in counts; in addition, further significant reductions in counts occurred over a 12-month storage period. After the initial irradiation treatment coliforms, yeasts and molds were no longer detected.
