Abstract
The viscosities of aqueous suspensions of irradiated peppers determine d after heat gelatinization were influenced by the pH of the suspensio n to a greater degree than those of unirradiated ones. Viscosity measu rement under an extremely alkaline condition (pH 13.8) resulted in a s ignificant difference between irradiated peppers and unirradiated ones , irrespective of the planting locality and storage period. All of the pepper samples irradiated at 5 kGy showed viscosity values significan tly lower than unirradiated ones. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
