The influence of combined storage procedures of foods on B vitamins content demonstrated at the example of heat sterilisation and irradiation.

This work presents a literary survey of accessible information on the applications of binary and trinary combinations of preservation methods (thermosterilization and irradiation with other preservation methods) and on their influence on B vitamin groups (thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and folacin) in comparison with traditionally used thermosterilization. It refers to the advantages of the combined techniques of preservation as a real possibility to replace the traditional preservation techniques by non-traditional and less destructive processes.
