In the ESR spectra from fat fractions, a well-resolved triplet signal corresponding to an alkyl radical was found only in treated samples. Linear regression models (P < 0.05) were obtained for ESR signal intensity estimation using the absorbed dose and storage time at 4 C (from 0 to 28 days). Several ESR signals were observed in the spectra from muscle fractions related to the presence of metalloprotein complexes. However, no significant (P > 0.05) differences were found between ESR spectra from untreated (0 kGy) and treated (0–4 kGy) samples. Results suggest that the analysis of ESR spectrum in fat samples can be used to evaluate the E-beam treatment of dry-cured ham PB Elsevier SN 0308-8146 YR 2012 FD 2012 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/96802 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/96802 LA eng NO Escudero R, Valhondo M, Ordóñez JA, de la Hoz L, Cabeza MC, Velasco R, Cambero MI.
