Food irradiation makes food radioactive 8. Unprocessed foods are generally safer 9. Diarrhea is a benign and self-limiting health problem with no long-term health impact 10. Contamination with a few bacteria has
Irradiated food is no more radioactive than your luggage is after it goes through an airport X-ray machine.The FDA already has approved irradiation on other foods, including pork, chicken, herbs and spices, fresh fruits and vegetables, and grains.Activists fought the approval of those uses and...
Irradiation does not make food radioactive. The amount of energy that is used in effective food irradiation is low compared to cooking. Processing food by ionizing radiation can split food molecules beyond what can be achieved by heating.
There have been 40 years of studies and use of irradiated food, without any evidence of harm or any health risk. Some countries, such as Israel, make liberal use of irradiation for food safety, again without any problems emerging. The World Health Organization hasreviewed hundreds of studiesand...
a輻射照射是利用輻射來消滅食品中微生物,就是在食品照射處理場,將生鮮或加工食品放到阿爾法射線、貝它射線和伽馬射線等放射性元素所構成的輻射源下進行曝照,過程就跟行李在機場中,經由輸送帶運至海關的X光機照射檢查一樣。 正在翻译,请等待...[translate]...
Labeling of Irradiated Foods – This “radura” logo is the international symbol for foods treated with irradiation. Question?? Would you buy and eat irradiated food? 1. Yes 2. No 3. I don’t know Other Technologies Several other technologies have potential to resolve some of the threat ...

Irradiation breaks chemical bonds killing microorganisms, insects and inhibits ripening in fruits. Key advantage:? no heat generated SOURCES GAMMA RADIATION - Cobalt 60 or cesium 137 (radioactive isotopes). X-RAYS AND ELECTRONS - Generators (ex. ISU Linear Accelerator Facility - LAF) o Advantage:...
Electron beam irradiation is sometimes referred to as beta irradiation. Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium-40. Beta particles are subatomic particles ejected from the nucleus of some radioactive atoms. Th...
