Description

According to FAO estimates one fourth to one third of the world food production is destroyed in the post-harvest period. The treatment of foodstuffs with ionizing radiation is compared with traditional preservation procedures with regard to energy demand, chemical damage and operation economy. Types of ionizing radiation sources permitted for such applications are given. The average absorbed dose should in commercial uses not exceed 10 kGy. Examples of possible uses are summed up in tables. (E.F.)
