Abstract
Gamma irradiation treatment brings about biochemical changes that could affect nutritional Quality of food. This study was conducted to examine the content of $\beta-Carotene$ in Jeju orange, vitamin $D_3$ in anchovy and $\alpha-Tocopherol$ in beef. $\beta-Carotene$ content of Jeju orange was not affected by irradiation of 5 and 10kGy. In anchovy, vitamin $D_3$ content was dose-dependently increased to $109.30\%\;and\;125.25\%$ of original content by irradiation of 5 and 10kGy, respectively. $\alpha-Tocopherol$ content in beef with high fat was progressively reduced by $17\%$ of original value with irradiation of 1kGy and by $84\%$ with 10kGy. It could be concluded that $\alpha-tocopherol$ might be most vulnerable to irradiation, while vitamin $D_3$ is very stable against irradiation within 10kGy of gamma irradiation.
