In contrast, vitamin C content was lower at day 14 in samples irradiated at 2
and 3 kGy. Cilantro irradiated at 3 kGy had higher decay rate and off-odor
scores than other samples after 14 days of storage. The total aerobic plate
count of irradiated cilantro was significantly lower than that of
nonirradiated controls immediately after irradiation and during the entire
storage period. Our results suggest that fresh cilantro irradiated at 2 kGy
retained its sensorial quality and shelf life.
