Effect of gamma-irradiation on microbial decontamination and organoleptic quality of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.)

The influence of ionizing radiation treatment with different doses (5 kGy, 10 kGy and 30 kGy) of γ-rays on the microbial decontamination of powdered black pepper was investigated. It was found out that a dose of 5 kGy is sufficient to achieve a total viable count of microbial contamination. Subseque...
