Description
The radiation treatment of foods and agricultural produce is mainly applied to inhibit germination, for disinfestation, to improve hygienic conditions, etc. Briefly assessed are convenient radiation sources, irradiation techniques and the benefits of treating food in this manner. The basic principles are explained of chemical and biological changes in foods following irradiation. A survey is given of irradiation sources designed for the treatment of foodstuffs and for a number of countries a list of foodstuffs is given where irradiation is permitted. The principles of designing irradiation plants for foodstuffs are described. (J.C.)
