Smoked salmon slices inoculated with Shewanella putrefaciens were untreated ( CK ) or treated with 2 kG y gamma radiation (G), 1% (v/v) cinnamon oil (C), or the combination of them (G+C), and then packaged and stored at 4°C for 10 days. Microbiological and physiochemical analyses were then carried out. All treatments showed a better effect on inhibiting the increase in total viable counts, total volatile basic nitrogen, and thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances than CK , especially the treatment of G+C. In addition, the combination treatment also showed a best effect on retarding the reduction in polyunsaturated fatty acids of salmon samples in all treatments. These results indicated that treatments of gamma radiation and cinnamon oil on salmon samples, especially the combination treatment, can be used to maintain the quality of smoked salmon slices.
