The impact of gamma and electron beam irradiation sterilization technology on the pigments and phenolic components of saffron

Abstract Dried stigmas of saffron with the natural contaminant microflora were irradiated at five dose levels (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kGy) via a gamma and electron beam irradiator. The changes in the microbial population (total count, mold and yeast and coliform contamination), total phenolic content (TPC...
