Abstract
There is still a great deal of prejudice against using ionizing rays to treat foods. According to a report by the Joint FAO/IAEA/WHO Expert Committee of Food irradiation the irradiation of foods at a dose of up to 10 kGy (= 1 Mrd) is not regarded as a health hazard: the method is particularly recommended for treating spices and a number of other foods. The content of volatile nitrosamines (NA) can be reduced by the effects of gamma rays in a similar way to UV irradiation. A reduction in the NA content, although only limited, is regarded as a positive side effect of irradiation. The use of Cs-137, which accumulates when reconditioning the fuel elements of nuclear power plants, as a source of radiation may be of increasing interest in the future in view of efforts to save energy.
