## Abstract When exposed to fluorescent light (250โ1000 1x) at 4ยฐC, luncheon meat containing erythrosine undergoes marked flavour deterioration in a few hours which is perceived mainly as a loss of flavour. The effect increased with light intensity and time of exposure but is absent in luncheon mea

Abstract
The flavour changes and extent of oxidation in crisps that had been exposed to light were studied by flavour difference assessment and peroxide value. When the crisps were examined immediately after illumination, both mean flavour difference ratings and peroxide values increased with the duration of exposure. When the crisps were stored for different periods after a fixed duration of exposure, an increase of flavour difference was observed without concomitant increase in peroxide value. The observation that the storage in the dark after illumination is different to exposure to light alone is significant because actual conditions of storage of food products usually involve both light and dark periods.

Potato tubers of four varieties (Brodick, King Edward, Pentland Dell and Record) were stored under commercial conditions and exposed to light for up to 10 days after 0, 10, 20 and 30 weeks. These were analysed for photosynthetic pigment and glycoalkaloid content. There was no signiยฎcant alteration i
