Till now, the effects of high-energy electron accelerator
(10 MeV) on shelf-life extension of the fish fillets have not been
documented. This study aimed to assess the influence of E-beam
irradiation (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kGy) on the quality of vacuum-pack-
aged fillets of salmon and to find the lowest, but still efficient dose
of irradiation, sufficient for suppressing the TBA values, the
decreasing of bacteria and the formation of TVB-N, thus prolonging
the shelf-life of salmon fillets.
