In this research, the effect of Tio2 nanocomposite (1% concentration), gamma irradiation (3 and 5 kGy), and their combination on the shelf life of filleted `Oncorhynchus mykiss` during cold storage (+4°C) were examined periodically every 4 days (during 20 days). For this purpose, fillet samples were packaged by Tio2 nanocomposites and then they were irradiated at room temperature and they were preserved. Microbial, chemical and sensory effects were considered during storage to control, pack and irradiate treatment. The result indicated that TiO2 nanocomposite and irradiation at 3 kGy would enable longer retention of the chemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics and extend the shelf life of fish fillets during the cold storage.
