The Asian regional co-operative project on food irradiation with emphasis on process control and acceptance: Progress and achievements

Many countries in the Asian region have performed active research to develop irradiation technology to the present status, and some countries have already processed certain food items and ingredients for commercial use. Other countries are in the process of formulating regulations governing trade in irradiated foods. The task of the Asian Regional Co-operative Project on Food Irradiation is the transfer of technology by developing suitable infrastructure, liaising with food industries in the region, harmonizing regulations and removing disparities for a co-ordinated effort to popularize the technology. 1 tab
