Gamma irradiation was found to reduce the microbial load and improve the quality characteristics of veal. Irradiation of veal at doses up to 3 kGy significantly reduced populations of microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus and total aerobic bacteria. Irradiated veal also showed improved organoleptic characteristics and color retention compared to non-irradiated veal over storage time. The study concluded that irradiation is an effective method for decontaminating veal and reducing pathogens to increase safety while maintaining quality.

MEAT IRRADIATION
Evidente, Ralph Carlo T.
Loresca, Daniel Eldrei D. Effects of gamma irradiation on microbial load and quality characteristics of veal Ebrahim Rahimi, Reza Faghihi, Milad Baradaran-Ghahfarokhi, Ali Alavaian-Ghavanini, Hamid Reza Baradaran-Ghahfarokhi, Zahra Siavashpour, Afrouz Farshadi, Farzad Rafie Results and Discussion Results and Discussion Results and Discussion Conclusion Correct hygiene activities can reduce the microbial load of veal and other veal products during production and processing. Lack of modern slaughterhouses in many regions of Iran increases meat microbial load. Decontaminating food items through irradiation is considered as a reliable, effective, and healthy method in deactivating microbial toxins as well as in eradicating pathogenic microorganisms. These results indicated that irradiation could be employed as an effective mean to inactivate common food-borne pathogens namely S. aureus and increases the half life of veal.
