A short report is given of the present activities of the Philippines in the field of food irradiation. Irradiation is done with a $sup 60$Co gamma source. Microbial survival after radurization of fish, grain fruits was studied as well as radiation-induced inactivation of toxins e.g. aflatoxin. The response of some insect pests commonly infesting stored products to gamma irradiation was investigated. Furthermore, radiopreservation of potatoes, other vegetables and spices, fruits, poultry and egg products was studied. (MG)
