Notes:
Influence of low dose gamma irradiation on the storage stability of fresh lamb meat (prepacked chunks and mince) at 0-3°C was examined by sensory, microbiological and chemical criteria. The meat chunks irradiated at 1.0 kGy and 2.5 kGy remained in acceptable condition for 3 and 5 weeks respectively, whereas the corresponding shelf life for irradiated (1.0 kGy and 2.5 kGy) mince were 2 and 4 weeks respectively. In contrast, unirradiated meat chunks and mince spoiled within one week of storage at 0-3°C.
