Comparison of ethylene oxide(E.O) fumigation and gamma irradiation on the sterilization, microbiological, physicochemcial and sensory quality of dried fishery products (shucked shellfish and mussel powder) were investigated. The viable cell count of mesophilic total bacterial was reduced by over 2 to 3 log cycles with irradiation of 3 to 5 kGy, and those samples were completely sterilized by irradiation dose of 7 to 10 kGy. In view of reduction of microorganisms, D10 value of each samples were ranged from 1. 36-1. 46 kGy. fungi, mesophilic spores, acid tolerant bacteria and coliforms were sterilized at 5 to 7 kGy irradiation but E.O. fumigation proved insulfficient to eliminate the mesophilic total bacteria and fungi. In the physicochemical and sensory quality of samples, such as the amino acid, TBA value, TMA-N, color difference and overall acceptability irradiated sample with optimum dose was similar to those of the nonirradiated sample, while E.O. fumigated sample was remarkably deteriorated in the physicochemical and sensory quality of samples. |
