Goat meat is potential source of nutrition. It contains less saturated fats and a relatively high proportion of total unsaturated fats, which makes it an "ideal red meat" for health sensitive consumers. Meat preservation for future use is a basic need in meat processing.The present study established that gamma irradiation treatment is a safe and efficacious procedure for goat meat preservation and it has no significant impact on the nutritional quality of goat meat. For the present study, 1.5 kGy is an appropriate dosage to maintain fresh meat quality under chilled conditions for goat meat as...

Pakistan is a big market where a huge amount of fruits and vegetables are grown. However, the marketing system is deficient in proper storage facilities and hence considerable post-harvest loss occurs. Spinach is a flimsy crop therefore it is difficult to store the spinach. Spinach is fit for human use and flowering plant of the family of Amaranthaceae.The effect of gamma radiation on moisture content of spinach indicated that moisture content decreased after the treatment. This might be due to retardation of senescence and inhibition of metabolic activities that moisture is decreased in the...

Tomatoes belong to the Solanaceae (the nightshade family). Lycopersicon esculentum is a perennial plant in the tropics but in northern climates it is grown as an annual. Botanically this vegetable is a fruit (a berry). The tomato is a native of the Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador area of the Andes Mountains. It is found in great varieties and types, which are consumed worldwide, because of its highly nutritious values. Export of tomatoes from Pakistan is less because of post harvest losses. To reduce the post harvest losses, radiation was chosen as a treatment. The present study focused on the...
