Gammaγ‐irradiation affected (p≤0.05) the physicochemical properties of dry red kidney beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris. ) Protein deamidation, solubility and hydrophobicity increased and the number of sulfhydryl groups was reduced after irradiation. Irradiation also affected the outgrowth of natural mold contaminants. A dose of 1.5 kGy reduced the number of molds by 2 log cycles immediately after the treatment. However, incomplete inhibition was observed with the highest irradiation dose (3 kGy). Species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. were completely inhibited at 1.5 and 3 kGy respectively.
