(2002) reported that irradiation and subsequent storage did not increase
lipid oxidation in pork with vacuum packaging because oxygen
was unavailable for hydroperoxide formation. However, it was
found that the TBA values of irradiated fish samples were always
higher than the control, and significant differences were observed
between the irradiated and control samples (p < 0.05). Al-Kahtani
et al. (1996) showed that TBA values increased with irradiation
dose and reached a maximum at the highest dosage; Chouliara,
Savvaidis, Riganakos, and Kontominas (2005) also reported that
the TBA values for irradiated sea bream samples were higher than
those of non-irradiated fish and increased slowly till day 21 of
storage.
