However, the reason for this phenomenon is not clear.
Dymsza et al. (1990) reported that the
irradiation of certain doses made the fish mince softer and tenderer; they also reported the decreased ability of the mince to form highly elastic gels after the irradiation. Wang (2011) compared the quality of minced pork after irradiating with different doses of gamma irradiation and found decreased elasticity resulting from a dose exposure of 2–6 kGy, and 6 kGy irradiation resulted in the lowest elasticity
