Food irradiation, the use of ionizing radiation to destroy harmful biological organism in food, is a safe, proven process that has many useful applications. It has been endorsed by numerous health organizations and has now been approved for many applications by governments around the world. Electronic Irradiation of Foods describes all the key aspects of electron accelerator technology in detail. It emphasizes the physical science and technology aspects of food irradiation using machine sources of ionizing radiation. The book provides significant technical depth for interested workers and present descriptive, introductory material that should help demystify technology for businessmen to make informed choices regarding important investments decisions. Introductory chapters summarize the effects of ionizing radiation on biological organisms and the organic compounds comprising foods, and give an overview of the food irradiation process. Subsequent chapters cover the details of the electron beam and x-ray energy deposition, electron accelerator technologies, beam scanning systems, material handling systems, shielding design, and process control considerations. Important appendices cover radiation dosimetry, induced radioactivity, and ozone generation.

This reference is an ABC on food irradiation on the one hand and an encyclopedia of food irradiation on the other. The authors have painstakingly compiled all terminologies related to this technology and have listed items ranging from Aeromanos to Yersinia for microbiological aspects; from Apple to Poultry to Wheat which can benefit from irradiation; vitamins in food which may be affected by irradiation; regulatory aspects including various methods of detection of irradiated food; consumer acceptance and commercial applications to date, etc. -Paisan Loaharanu, Head, Food Preservation Section, Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Vienna
