Abstract

In the present study, peas were exposed to three different doses of gamma radiation i.e. 1, 1.5, 2.5 kGy. The nutritional value of peas after radiation was analyzed to determine the effect of gamma radiation on proximate composition. In the light of results, it was found that 1 kGy is optimized dose that has little effect on the nutritional value of peas.  At 1 kGy the sensory properties remain unchanged and the shelf life of peas was increased up to 9 days at room temperature.
