A similar pattern to TMA was noted for changes
in TVB-N values. The proposed TVB-N limit of
30–35mg N per 100 g muscle was reached at days
10–12 for non-irradiated samples, days 14–22 for
samples irradiated at 1 kGy and days 21–28 for
samples irradiated at 3 kGy (Table 2). Suppression
of TVB-N values following irradiation at 1.5 and
