Notes:
Volatile components of beef irradiated at 5 megarad by concurrent radiation-distillation, by radiation just prior to distillation, and by radiation and storage at ambient temperature for 6 months before distillation, were isolated and characterized. The total yield of odor isolate from stored beef was approximately 4.4 mg per lb (about 10 ppm), or about one-third of the yield obtained from freshly irradiated beef or from unirradiated beef. The n-alkanals and methional, major volatile components of freshly irradiated beef, are minor components of stored irradiated beef. n-Alkanes are present in relatively greater amount in odor concentrates of stored beef. n-Alkanes and l-alkenes are volatile components of both stored and freshly irradiated beef, hut are present in much smaller quantity in the stored product.
