Ahmed1 Abstract Irradiation with dosages above 1 krad in duced some decay reduction in Pineapple and Valencia oranges stored at for s without diphenyl pads. At there was less spoilage for the Temple fruit; with diphenyl pads and storage at there was less spoilage of Pineapple oranges. The citrus fruits exami ned showed irradiation induced peel injury. Tem ple fruit were the least susceptible to peel injury. The severity of peel injury was greater as the radiation doses increased or the storage temper ature and duration increased. lorida Agricultural Experiment Stations Journal Series No ldepartment of ood Science, University of lorida, Gainesville. 2University of lorida Citrus Experiment Station, Lake Alfred. There were no differences in the organoleptic quality attributes of irradiated grapefruit stored 19 and 2 s at 65 and 58, respectively. No differences were observed in the color or consistency of juice expressed from irradiated Valencia oranges, but a lower flavor rating was obtained from the krad level. Sections from Temple fruit irradiated with dosages in excess of 1 krad and stored s at 35 and 5 were softer and had less acceptable flavor. How ever, by extending the storage period to 13 s, no differences were observed in the flavor of Temples stored at 5. In view of the severity of peel injury irradia tion cannot be recommended for preservation of lorida citrus fruits. Introduction There is a widespread interest in the use of gamma radiation for the extension of shelf life of citrus fruits. While decay organisms can be inactivated by adequate dosages of gamma Table 1.

2 286 LORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 1966 rays, it is necessary to limit the dosage so that not more than minor changes occur in the phy sical and chemical properties of the fruit. No single radiation dose can be designated to be the minimum required for protecting cit rus fruits against spoilage. Higher radiation doses are required to retard old or established infections than incipient infections. The flux as well as the delivered dose level influence the control of infection. Beraha (1) found that de cay on oranges was not completely controlled by 182 krad3 dose delivered at 3 krad per min ute. However, he obtained effective control when the dose was delivered at 2 krad per minute over a dose range of 15 to 182 krad. By in creasing the flux rate to krad per minute, control was effective when the dose, range was 125 to 13 krad. Grierson and Dennison (4) reported a slight decay ^eduction in lorida Valencia oranges and Marsh grapefruit sub- 3One krad (kilorad) is equivalent to 1, rad.

(6, ) found that California navel oranges irradiated with dosages up to krad were entirely free of decay for 3 months at 32 P. Guerrero et al. (5) obtained good decay control with comparatively little peel injury on irradiated California Washington navel oranges. The irradiated fruit were more susceptible to handling injury, and were less acceptable in flavor and texture. The effects of irradiation on the organoleptic characteristics of oranges and grapefruit are modified by the subsequent storage temperature and duration. Maxie et al. (6, ) found, with the exception of krad dose, no differences in the taste panel evaluations of the sections and juice from navel oranges stored up to 1 weeks at 32. The overall flavor scores, especially those treated at the lower levels of irradiation, generally improved with time after radiation. Taste panel evaluations of single strength juice prepared from whole navel oranges ex- Table 2.

Ir radiation at 6 x 14 rep and higher increased bitterness over the controls. Irradiation with dosages up to 5 x 15 rep did not produce an off-flavor in grapefruit (2, 1). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate irradiation effects on decay control, induction of peel injury and the organoleptic quality attributes of lorida grown Duncan grapefruit, Pineapple and Valencia oranges, and Temple fruit.

The 1966 harvest dates for these fruits were as fol lows: grapefruit 1-24, 2-2, 3-; Pineapple 1-3, 1-1, 1-1; Valencia 3-28, 4-4, 4-11; and Temple 1-3, 2-6, and The fruits were washed, wax ed and graded before being brought to the ood Irradiation Laboratory at Gainesville, lorida. Grading was limited to the removal of damaged or off-bloom fruit. The fruits were exposed to Co-6 gamma rays in the Mark III food irradiator to dosages of, 1,, and krad. The radiation flux was 5. krad per minute. ruits were irradi ated at 55 and with continuous exchange of air in chambers. The control and irradiated fruits were returned to the Citrus Experiment Station for further examinations. ruits were handled in ventilated cartons. There were three harvest dates of each citrus variety. At each harvest date there were four cartons for each of the irradiation levels. On return of the fruits to Lake Alfred, diphenyl pads were placed in two of the four cartons in each treatment. One carton with diphenyl pads and one carton with- Table 3.

One hundred fruits from each treatment were examined for peel injury. Peel injury was rated visually with a score of for none, 1 for slight, 2 for moderate, and 3 for severe. A maximum score of would indicate severe peel injury on every fruit in the sample. Organoleptic quality attributes of Duncan grapefruit, Temple fruit, and Valencia oranges were evaluated. ollowing irradiation doses of, 1,, and krad, grapefruit were stored at 58 and 65 and Temple fruits were stored at 35 and 5. The storage rooms were maintain ed at relative humidities above 9%. Sections of the stored grapefruit and Temple fruit were presented to the taste panel members for the evaluation of color, texture, and flavor. The juice expressed from the stored Valencia oranges was evaluated for color, consistency, and flavor. A hedonic scale from 1 to 9 was used for the organoleptic ratings: a rating of 1 for dislike extremely and 9 for like extremely. Results and Peel Injury. Effects of irradia tion on decay reduction and on peel injury in Duncan grapefruit are shown in Table 1. Gen erally, storage at low temperature ( ) and the presence of a fungicide (diphenyl) resulted in the reduction of the percent of decayed fruit. However, irradiation did not always reduce de cay. Irradiation induced peel injury which was increased with higher dosages. The severity of peel injury was increased the higher the storage temperature and duration. Irradiated fruit stor ed at had less peel injury in the presence of diphenyl. Definite reduction in the percentages of decay in Pineapple oranges due to radiation were ob tained with the exception of fruit stored at in the presence of diphenyl pads (Table 2). Re- Table 4.

Similar reductions of de cayed fruit stored at were obtained with either the addition of fumigant pads on un treated fruit or by radiation with a krad dose. Diphenyl pads had no effect on decay at but irradiated fruits had less decay than control fruit. However, irradiation decreased decay of fruit held at. The amount of decay and the incidence of peel injury increased with the storage temperature and duration. Di phenyl reduced peel injury only with fruits ex posed to to krad and stored at. Irradiation reduced decay for Valencia oranges stored at without diphenyl pads (Table 3). A slight decay reduction due to radiation was obtained when the fungicide was incorporated with the fruit. Control and radi ated fruit stored at exhibited less decay with diphenyl. The severity of peel injury in creased with dose level, storage temperature and duration. This is analogous with radiation ef fects on Duncan grapefruit and Pineapple oranges. The effects of diphenyl on peel injury with irradiated fruit were modified by storage temperature. ruit exhibited less peel injury with diphenyl at while there were no dif ferences at storage, except for the 1 krad treatment. There was no apparent decay reduction due to radiation in Temple fruit (Table 4). Storage at with diphenyl pads was more effective than irradiation for decay reduction.

The organoleptic quality attributes of the ir radiated lorida citrus fruits did not vary sig nificantly from that of control fruits. There were no serious objections from the taste panel members to the quality attributes of irradiated fruits. The lowest rating of the radiated product at the krad dose was 'dislike slightly/ This objectionable rating might be obviated by the use of lower dosages.

The anticipated increase in shelf-life is not always realized because of the secondary effects of radiation on physical and chemical changes within the plant tissue (5, 9). Some fruits are more susceptable than others to irradiation damage, and Dennison and Ahmed (2) reported in their summation that no single radiation dose can be stated that will be the minimum required to protect citrus fruits against spoilage. Some metabolic processes are accelerated when citrus fruits are irradiated and the rate of acceleration may vary with the dosage level. Dennison et al. (3) have shown that the titrat-
