Abstract

The nature of the problem of mould growth on baked products is discussed. Existing information on the reduction of this source of wastage by chemical and irradiation techniques is briefly reviewed, and new experimental evidence is presented relating to the use of these procedures. The effectiveness of ionizing radiations in preventing mould growth is indicated but there are many problems to be considered before it can be regarded as a satisfactorily established technique.
