Description

The first part of this data is relative to the study of chemical modifications induced by gamma radiations (60Co, 137Cs) on macromolecules of food and their contaminates with the help of two examples: starch and nucleic acids. Then the second part shows what are the consequences of irradiation on food and their preservation; we make distinction between useful effects (for instance germination inhibition of tubercules, destruction of insects or micro-organisms) and the results which are contingently bad for nutritional, technological and above all toxicologic aspects. The last part is relative to a short restatement of the problems inherent in the industrialization of this treatment

Abstract (French)

La premiere partie de ce rapport est consacree a l'etude des modifications chimiques induites par le rayonnement gamma (60Co, 137Cs) sur les macromolecules des aliments et leurs contaminants, a l'aide de deux exemples: l'amidon et les acides nucleiques. La deuxieme partie montre les consequences de l'irradiation sur les aliments et leur preservation; on fait une distinction entre les effets positifs (par exemple inhibition de la germination des tubercules, destruction des insectes ou microorganismes) et les effets negatifs ou secondaires, aspects nutritionels, technologiques et essentiellement toxicologiques. La derniere partie est consacree a un court expose des problemes inherents a l'industrialisation de ce traitement
