Kuminder Kaur and R. K. Gupta*
ABSTRACT
The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of gamma irradiation of different doses on various fruits and vegetables. Gamma irradiation has been proved to inhibit microbial growth, delay ripening and extend shelf life of fruits and vegetables. In productivity of plants low temperature during germination and early seedling growth is one of the most significant limiting factors. Radiation doses of 0.75 to 1.0 kGy did not affect the quality parameters of tomatoes like titratable acidity, pH, anthocyanin content.
