The effects of X-ray treatments on bioaccumulated murine norovirus-1 (MNV-1) and survivability, inherent microbiota, color, and firmness of Atlantic oysters (Crassostrea virginica) during storage at 5 °C for 20 days
文摘
Plaque assays revealed that X-ray significantly reduced the population of internalized MNV-1 in live oysters. The population of MNV-1 was reduced to less than 2.0 log PFU g−1 at 5.0 kGy X-ray. The survivability of live oysters was not significantly affected by treatment with X-ray. Treatment of whole-shell oysters by 5.0 kGy X-ray significantly reduced the inherent microbiota. No significant effect of X-ray treatment on oyster color or firmness was detected.
