Description

The effect of gamma-irradiation, in the range of 0-150 Krad, on ascorbic acid content of two varieties of Iraqi dates were investigated. High performance liquid chromatographic technique (HPLC) was employed. Ascorbic acid was not significantly reduced by radiation. The ascorbic acid content for both varieties investigated were found to be higher than that reported in the literature. (author)
