Absence of insect, rancidity and aflatoxin are major criteria used to determine quality of stored oilseeds. Gamma (γ) radiation is recognized as a techno-commercially feasible method for reducing postharvest food losses, ensuring the hygienic quality and preservation of food, extending its shelf life and facilitating wider trade. There was no study on effect of gamma (γ) irradiation on Gujarat variety of peanut and sesame seeds. Therefore, present study was planned with the broad aim of study the effect of gamma irradiation dose (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 kGy) and storage (in sealed in 40μ pp bags) period upto 6 months on peanut (GG-20) and sesame (GT-2) seed and its oil quality.en-USnullThesis
