Influence of γ‐irradiation and ice storage on fat oxidation in three Indian fish

Abstract
Summary: The influence of low‐dose γ‐irradiation (up to 5 kGy) on fat oxidation in skin and flesh fractions of some commercially important fishes (Indian mackerel, white pomfret and seer) during ice storage was examined. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased in both control and irradiated fish particularly in mackerel and seer meat. In mackerel, the TBA values declined towards later part of storage. Pomfret skin, but not mackerel and seer skin, showed radiation‐induced oxidation, which increased further during ice storage.
