Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the microbiological and sensory characteristics of frozen Bibimbap. Frozen Bibimbap vegetables were contaminated by microbial levels of $2.70{\sim}6.67log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ in total aerobic bacteria. Frozen Bibimbap was contaminated by microbial levels of $4.8log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ in total aerobic bacteria, but microorganisms in gamma-irradiated samples at above 25 kGy were not found at detection limit less then $1log\;CFUg^{-1}$. Sensory characteristics of the gamma-irradiated Bibimbap were decreased depending upon the irradiation dose, and sensory scores of the samples irradiated with doses higher than 10 kGy were significantly decreased. Therefore, the application of combination of the various food processing technology should be considered for the sterilization of Bibimbap, without any deterioration of quality occurred by high dose irradiation.
