Low-dose (0.5–3 kGy) irradiation is a process that has the po-
tential to extend the shelf life of fishery products by killing bacteria
without affecting the nutritional value or quality of products
(
Venugopal, Doke, & Thomas, 1999
). Meanwhile, due to its effec-
tiveness in reducing the extent of product oxidation, vacuum pack-
aging is widely used in the food industry; the method is relatively
low cost and thus offers great economic benefits. Moreover, chill-
ing storage is an effective means of preserving seafood products
by stopping bacteria from growing and chemical reactions from
proceeding.
Jaczynski and Park (2003)
also reported that E-beam
affected physicochemical properties or microbial inactivation of
surimi seafood. However, unlike other food materials or fish prod-
ucts, fresh fish are deserved to study the effects of high-energy
electron accelerator (10 MeV) on shelf-life extension of the fish fil-
lets from the biochemical and sensory attributes point of view
