The commercialization of medicinal plants and/or their products is highly increased in Romania lately. One of the most used herbs is sea buckthorn being well known for its quality with a large potential for curing some diseases. Sea buckthorn can be contaminated with undesirable microorganisms which may affect negatively its quality. The paper presents the results regarding the action of a non-conventional technology meaning electron beam technique on sea buckthorn in order to improve its microbiological quality. Our study revealed that the sea buckthorn microbial load has been improved after 3 kGy irradiation keeping its active principles.
