Description

The effect of irradiation with X-rays and electron beams on the thiamine content of chicken drumsticks in function of the storage time at refrigerator temperature was examined. A measurement of the total colony count was used as an indication of the preservation time. The irradiation dose applied ranged from 0 to 7 kGy at dose rates of 0.05 and 5 kGy/min for X-rays and electron beams respectively. It was concluded that differences in the thiamine breakdown between the two types of irradiation increased as the dose increased. In the worst case, at the X-ray treatment of 7 kGy, the mean loss in thiamine was 46.06%
