According to Aymerich, Picouet, and Monfort (2008), radiation pasteurization (radurization),which refers to the inactivation of non-spore bacteria,with a lowabsorbed dose requirement (1–10 kGy) is appropriate for foods, includingmeats. A maximum dosage of 10 kGy represents a low amount of energy (equivalent to that needed to raise water temperature by 2.4 °C); this is why the technology is considered nonthermal, thus preserving the freshness and the nutritional quality of the meat and meat products when compared with thermal methods(Ahn et al., 2004; Aymerich et al., 2008).
