Identification of irradiated spices with luminescence measurements: a European intercomparison

Abstract

Blind tests were performed measuring the thermoluminescence intensity on samples from 10 different spices that were either irradiated or unirradiated. The chemiluminescence was measured on 10 additional spice samples. Twelve institutions participated in this collaborative study. Thresholds were defined which, when exceeded, declare samples as irradiated. The recovering rate was nearly 100% for samples investigated by thermoluminescence. Only one out of 495 irradiated samples was not identified. By using chemiluminescence, the participants succeeded in identifying 99% of unirradiated samples and 75% of irradiated samples from a total of 490 samples. (author).
