📖 Gamma Irradiation of Sheep Meat: Taking Food Safety to Next Level..

Sheep (Ovis aries) is well-thought-out to be a significant source of nutrition around the world. This study is about exploiting the possibility of irradiating sheep meat with Gamma Radiation and optimizing a radiation dose that can be set as a standard against which sheep meat could be sterilized in future in Pakistan. Radiation treatment can adequately eliminate possibly pathogenic bacteria that includes both long-time known pathogens such as Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus as well as new emerging pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes or Escherichia coli O157:H7 from suspected food products without causing any changes in nutritional, sensory and technical qualities.
