Effect of chilled storage of radiation‐pasteurized chicken carcasses on the eating quality of the resultant cooked meat*

Abstract
Chicken carcasses were γ‐irradiated with about 3.7 kGy whilst at 0°C, and stored at from +1° to +2°C. Sensory panels found that the eating quality of leg meat was satisfactory for at least 1 week, and decreased after about 3 weeks. Breast meat changed, but was satisfactory for about 3 weeks, decreasing in quality after about 4 weeks.
