Résumé : |
Laboratory scale and pilot plant scale experiments demonstrating the preservation of cattle hides with gamma radiation from radio-active isotopes were conducted. Hide preservation, using this irradiation source, is achieved by the same biological mechanism as the electron beam irradiation preservation method demonstrated in previous work in this laboratory. Commercial sterilization of many non-food products is already commonplace in the U.S. and recent FDA rulings now permit both types of irradiation treatment to be used to some extent for food preservation. Preservation of cattle hides with gamma radiation begins with the application of bactericide as reported in the electron beam preservation work. However, after this point, several hides can be irradiated simultaneously rather than individually as in the case of electron beam irradiation preservation. The potential advantages of gamma irradiation treatment are discussed and this preservation method contrasted with electron beam irradiation. |
