Sources of ionizing radiation
1. Gamma raysCo-60: The most common radioisotope
used (Food Technologies Inc, & Mulberry)It has the deepest penetration. Used to sterilize many non-food items.Can be applied to various foods, sizes,
shapesRaises consumer concerns = Radioactive
residual in the items.

2. X-raysMachine that produced the x-rays are powered by
electricity.A lot of consumers in the world are familiar with
the technology. Widely used in the health care treatment.But unfortunately, it is not yet widely adopted for
food application.

3. Electron beam: () beta rays Machine that produced electrons which is
powered by electricity.It is a short penetration and it requires a thinner
product in order the rays being penetrated.Works well with meat pieCompany that used this source: Titan facility-
Iowa, USA.

How does radiation work?
1. Direct Effects: Kills microorganisms by damaging bio molecules in cellsPhotons of radiation hit electrons in atoms of microbes or
food molecules. It transfers energy to the electrons. Electrons scatter and collide with other electrons. Chemical bonds are broken, disrupting cell metabolism and
other cells division (DNA and RNA and cellular proteins)
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
12
2. Indirect Effects: Water molecules in organisms or food undergo radiolysis (disruption through radiation).
It will form a “free radicals”: atoms or molecules having an unpaired electron.
Then, it quickly combines with oxygen to form oxidizing agents that damage bacterial cells and eventually leading to death of organism.
“The combined effects (indirect & direct) can result in the destruction of target organisms
efficiently”

Measure of radiation dose
Unit is the “gray” (Gy)
FDA uses kilogray (kGy) = 1,000 grays
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
14
(1) Low dose: 0 - 1 kGyDisinfest grains of insects Inhibit the developing of microbes. Control Trichinella spiralis in the pork meat. Delay ripening in fruits and vegetables.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
15
(2) Medium dose: 1-10 kGy
Reduce the availability of the microbial pathogens in the meat, poultry and fish
Reduce spoilage of microorganisms.Delay the mold growth on strawberries and
other fruits
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
16
(3) High dose: 10 - 50 kGy
Kill microorganisms in spices and herbs preparation ingredients.
Commercially to sterilize the food. Disadvantage: It can cause the functional
ingredient in food to modify.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
17
RULE OF THUMBS: Complex organisms require LESS radiation
to affect or destroy them. Simple organisms like bacteria take higher
doses to be destroyed than insects.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
18
Effects on food products?
Foods do not become radioactive after being exposed to the irradiation process.
But some chemical changes may occurred.e.g: Unique radiolytic product can be formed: 2-
dodecylcyclobutanone (2-DBC)No toxic effects, not mutagenic. Food also changes when it is cooked = so,
expect the same effect the irradiated food products.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
19
Irradiated of “Cold product”There is a small effect for certain nutritional compounds
if any of the chilled food product increases in temperature during the irradiation process.
But no changes in physical appearances occurred.e.g: At 1.5 kGy or 3.0 kGy for the ground meat. There
are:
- No adverse effects on thiamin or riboflavin (crucial amino acid contents).
- No negative effects on meat color.

Regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
The irradiated food has be used as a food additive since 1958 under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938.
Various irradiated product has been approved by the FDA since 1963.

Past decadeIn 1993, food borne illness from E. coli O157:H7
has infected USA - Hundreds were ill, several were deaths.
Source of the infection: associated with the ground beef.
Because of the E. Coli were widely spreaded, US government has approved for the irradiation of meats to inhibit E. coli.
The effect: It was a great reduce of the pathogens in the ground beef. But it does not sterilize the product from other microbes.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
24
Regulation on Meat by the FDA 1997 & USDA 1999
For the uncooked meat and its by product:- Refrigerated meat: the radiation can be used up to 4.5 kGy- Frozen meat: up to 7.0 kGy
The HACCP system should be implemented along with the irradiation process.
Labeling of consumer foods should be imprinted:-e.g: “Treated by electron beam irradiation”-e.g: “Treated to reduce pathogens such as Salmonella”-e.g: “Irradiated ground beef”.

What Is Food Irradiation?
“Food irradiation is the process of exposing food, either packaged or in bulk to carefully
controlled amounts of ionizing radiation for a specific time to achieve certain desirable
objectives”
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
26
Ionizing RadiationIonizing Radiation: “X-rays, alpha, beta, and gamma rays (short wavelength-high energy) which cause whatever material they strike to
produce ions”

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)
EPR is a spectroscopic technique that detects chemical species that have unpaired electrons. A great number of materials contain such paramagnetic entities, which may occur either as electrons in unfilled conduction bands, electrons trapped in radiation damaged sites, or as free radicals, various transition ions, bi-radicals, triplet states, impurities in semi-conductors, as well as other types.

Irradiation
Spectrum of electromagnetic radiation(a) Short wavelengths (high energy) = ionizing radiation(b) Long wavelengths (low energy) = radio waves(c) Middle wavelengths = visible light
Microwaves Long wavelengths Heat food by making water molecules move very fast
Ultraviolet Shorter than visible wavelengths Can kill microbes Only used for surfaces
Ionizing radiation
Beta rays (electrons) Gamma rays (from radioactive source)

Measuring radiation• Curie - Quantity of
radioactive substance
• Rad - Unit of measure for absorbed radiation dose
• Gray - New unit of measure (= 100 rads)
What does radiation do?
Damages DNA Causes chemical
changes in the cell
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
50
Radiation vs. microorganisms
Different organisms vary in radiation resistance.
Some very resistant types exist.More cells present means more radiation
needed to be used to destroy their cell walls.Non growing cells are more resistant than
growing cells.
Executive Diploma in Manufacturing Management
51
How to choose the right dose?
Target size: Smaller the target, more radiation to be needed.
Desired effect: - Inhibit sprouting?
- Kill insects?
- Kill some bacteria?
- Kill all bacteria?
If possible take the lowest dose to do the desired job = less radiation during handling.

Examples of irradiation processes
Control insects in fruits and vegetables up to 1 kilogray
Kill insects and microbes in spices up to 30 kilogray
Control Trichinella (a parasite) in pork 0.3-1 kilogray
Inhibit sprouting of potatoes 50-150 gray
Control insects in wheat and flour 200-500 gray
