Year: 1969

Type: article

Abstract: The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the content of sugar in onion bulbs during the storage at room temperature and at 1℃. Onion bulbs. Sapporo yellow, were irradiated with the dose of 7000 and 15000 rad from Co-60 gamma source. Takasaki Laboratory, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute soon after the harvest and after storage for 1 month at room temperature.
