Resumo

In this study the most suitable gamma ray dose for the sterilization of a new Perna perna mussel reference material was investigated. Different gamma ray doses were applied and microbiological loads of irradiated subsamples and a non-irradiated control subsample were studied. A 0.90 kGy decimal reduction value was estimated at the microbiological load test conditions and it was concluded that a 5 kGy dose is suitable for the sterilization of the mussel reference material.
