Abstract
ABSTRACTregina freestone peaches from california were given low postharvest doses of gamma radiation (65‐75 krads) and were compared with non‐irradiated controls approximately one month after harvest. Practiced judges were used, with a technique of minimal cross‐sensory interference, as an analytical tool to guide subsequent instrumental analysis. Strong differences were found in odor and components of taste not associated with sweetness. Lesser trends were noted for firmness and appearance. Untrained subjects also detected gross sensory differences.
