Notes:
Viscosity of irradiated black and white peppers decreased depending upon dosage, and viscosity was not lowered by other decontamination treatments such as super-heated steam or fumigation with ethylene oxide gas. Viscosity values of unirradiated pepper varied with the lot and harvesting locality. A normalized parameter, viscosity/starch amount, of a 10% suspension of unirradiated pepper was always higher than 190 mPa.s/g of starch and that of irradiated pepper (5 kGy) was always lower than 180 mPa.s/g of starch, irrespective of lot and harvesting locality.
