In order to assess the impact of electron beam irradiation on the physicochemical properties and edible quality of highland barley rice, an investigation was conducted to identify the optimal irradiation dose for barley and rice processing. In this study, a series of analyses were conducted on barley rice samples subjected to electron beam irradiation at four doses (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kGy). These analyses included the determination of basic nutrients, colony and mold counts, storage indexes, pasting characteristics, rheological properties and edible quality. The results demonstrated that electron beam irradiation at a dose of 0~1.5 kGy had no significant impact on the composition and content of basic nutrients and amino acids in barley and rice. Furthermore, the total number of colonies and molds were significantly reduced (P
