The changes of inosine and hy-poxanthine under increasing irradiation doses showed a consistent
pattern with this claim: the rapid increase of the twofinal nucle-otides degradationproducts in cooked turkey meat was observed in
1.5 kGy, while similar increasewas found at higher irradiation dose,
3.0 kGy, for raw turkey meat.
The decrease of inosine concentration after 3.0 kGy irradiation
was expected to increase hypoxanthine, but no such observation
was found here
