The present status of food preservation by ionizing radiation is discussed by food classes in the following paragraphs.
Meats
The radiation processing of meat has received extensive investigation.
To date, the one meat showing favorable results at sterilization doses is pork.
Of particular interest to the military services is the demonstration that roast pork, after radiosterilization, is superior in palatability to available canned pork products.
Tests with beef have been largely unsuccessful because of the development of off-flavors.
A prime objective of the Army Quartermaster Corps program is to find the reasons for beef's low palatability and means of overcoming it, since it is a major and desirable dietary item.
Partly because low-level heat treatment is needed to inactivate enzymes before radiosterilization, treated fresh meats have the appearance of boiled or canned meat.
