Abstract
Not enough data on nutritional change of foods by gamma irradiation are accumulated. It is known that amounts and digestibility of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are not significantly altered by irradiation treatment. However, among micronutrients, vitamins are known to be susceptible to irradiation. This study was conducted to investigate the change of contents of riboflavin in egg powder and niacin in chicken breast. By irradiation of 5 and 10 kGy, riboflavin contents of egg powder were respectively reduced to $80.18\%\;and\;84.80\%$ of non-irradiated sample, and niacin contents in chicken breast were reduced to $85.30\%\;and\;92.60\%$, respectively. These results suggest that the reduction rate by gamma irradiation seems to be lower in niacin content than in riboflavin, and the losses of riboflavin and niacin occur within the range of $20\%$ by irradiation of up to 10 kGy.
