Analysis of variance was computed with the data from each attribute using the STATISTICA Computer Program (Version 2003, StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA). Experiments were performed according to a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement with three replicates for each treatment. The factor radiation dose had four levels (0, 2, 4 and 6 kGy) and the factor storage had two levels (0 and 90 days). There were eight treatment combinations and each treatment replicated thrice. The least significant difference test at the 5% level of probability was used to check the differences among mean values according to Hill and Lewicky .
