The invention relates to an
irradiation preservation method for a famous
freshwater fish. The
irradiation preservation method for the famous
freshwater fish is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) pretreatment of the famous
freshwater fish, slaughtering the famous freshwater fish, scaling, removing gills and internal organs,
drying and packaging in vacuum, so as to obtain pretreated freshwater fish; (2)
irradiation, adopting one of the following two methods: a, irradiating the pretreated freshwater fish with a
cobalt-60
gamma ray within a low-temperature range of 0-5 DEG C, wherein the
dose rate is 100-500GY / min, and the irradiation absorption
dose is 6-9kGY; storing and transporting at 0-5 DEG C; b, irradiating the pretreated freshwater fish with an
electron accelerator within a low-temperature range of 0-5 DEG C, wherein the
electron accelerator is the
electron accelerator of 5-10Mev, and the irradiation absorption
dose is 6-9kGY; storing and transporting at 0-5 DEG C. According to the method, the irradiation off-
odor is greatly reduced; the original
flavor quality of a fish body is relatively well protected; the famous freshwater fish is long in quality guarantee period and constant in taste.
