Notes:
Navel oranges from two locations in California were given low postharvest doses of gamma radiation (60 - 80 Krads) and compared with nonirradiated controls for taste, flavor, odor, firmness, degree of orange color, degree of brown blemishing, ease of peeling and intactness of the membranes on sectioning. Practiced judges were used as an analytical screening tool using minimal cross-sensory interference, while untrained subjects were used to determine whether changes might be distinguished by‘nonexperts’. Greatest differences were found for degree of blemishing, lesser differences for flavor by mouth and odor and some trends for taste, color, texture and ease of peeling.
