Abstract
The effect of gamma irradiation (1.5 and 2 kGy) on the lipids of Indian mac kerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) stored at 0-2C was studied No major differen ces in lipid composition of fish was observed as a result of irradiation an d subsequent storage for up to 14 days. However, higher carbonyl values in irradiated samples during the initial storage of fish was revealed. Irradia tion also had no adverse effect on the nutritionally important omega-3 poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the fish.
