The gamma irradiation effect of dried fernbraken was investigated on the physical and sensory qualities during and after soaking process. Dried fernbraken packaged in vacuum was irradiated up to 7 kGy with v-ray produced by 132 Cs at 0℃. Moisture content and rehydration rate of gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking increased significantly depending on the irradiation doses(p<0.05). Lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) values of Hunter color system increased significantly in the gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking, compared with control, while the hardness and chewiness by the texture analyser decreased significantly in irradiated ones. Sensory evaluation results showed that the mean scores of flavor, appearance, taste, texture and over-all acceptability in soaked fernbraken irradiated were not significantly different from those in control, except higher preference score of texture in irradiated ones. From these results, it might be concluded that the irradiation does not affect the physical and sensory qualities of dried fernbraken during and after soaking, especially in texture.
