The invention particularly relates to a method for guaranteeing the quality of frozen hairtail by utilizing
electron beam
irradiation, the method adopts a high-energy
electron beam technology to irradiate the frozen hairtail which is subjected to viscera removal, dicing and vacuum packaging, and the preferable dosage suitable for the frozen hairtail is 1kGy from the aspects of
energy conservation and
shelf life prolonging. The dosage basically does not damage the nutritional ingredients of the hairtail, effectively inhibits the generation of
trimethylamine in hairtail meat, inhibits the increase of volatile basic
nitrogen in the storage process, and prolongs the storage period of the hairtail. On one hand, nutritional ingredients such as
moisture,
water activity and crude fat of the frozen hairtail are basically kept unchanged; on the other hand, the high-energy
electron beam
irradiation technology is utilized, so that the decay process of the hairtail can be efficiently slowed down in an energy-saving and
pollution-free manner, and the
shelf life of the frozen hairtail is prolonged to a certain extent. The method is simple in process,
environmentally friendly, free of residues and suitable for large-scale application, the
shelf life of the frozen hairtail can be effectively prolonged, and an application basis is provided for storage of related aquatic products.
