GAMMA IRRADIATION FDE415 Egem Sude Demirbaş Ayşenaz Dönmez  What is Irradiation? FOOD RADIATION IRRADIATION IRRADIATION Emission of Exposing a Exposing food energy as product to items to electromagnetic ionizing gamma rays waves radiation emitted by a such as radioactive gamma-rays source  What is Irradiation? IONIZING RADIATION NON-IONIZING RADIATION X-RAY MICROWAVES GAMMA UV RADIATION ELECTRON BEAMS  What is Gamma Irradiation? A nonthermal method used in the food industry to extend the shelf life of various food products and to enhance food safety Exposing food products to gamma rays emitted by a radiation source, such as cobalt-60 or cesium-137  PURPOSES Prevention of Foodborne Illnesses Preservation-Extending Shelf life Control of Insects Delay of Sprouting and Ripening Sterilization  EFFECTS ON FOOD QUALITY No change in texture, appearance, taste ( protein denaturation Some vitamins and antioxidants can be reduced even in low doses of radiation (>1 kGy)  EFFECT ON MICROORGANISMS Damaging DNA, protein or cell membrane of M/O, Leads to microbial inactivation or death Reactive species from radiolysis of water react with bacterial cell components and damage/change their structure-death e.g. fresh products low dose (1-10 kGy) -> shelf life extension high dose (>10 kGy) -> M/O kill Figure 1.

It amount of radiolytic can also affect the compositions. increases percentage of products formed during irradiation process functional groups. irradiation. Factors Affecting Gamma Irradiation Figure 4. Factors affecting food irradiaton (Bhatnagar et al., 2022)  SOURCES Cobalt-60 (Co-60) Most common choice Radioactive isotope of cobalt Consistent sterilization Reliable source Insoluble in water Cesium-137 (Cs-137) Less common choice Radioactive isotope of cesium Availability Less energy than Co-60 Longer half-life  SAFETY ISSUES Not make food radioactive At the stage of high energy ionizing radiation that exceeded the recommended threshold will cause a dangerous radioactive material. The WHO states that the recommended doses of irradiation do not damage the nutrient content and toxic hazards (WHO, 1988) Only interaction at atomic or molecular levels No residual radioactivity after process  SAFETY ISSUES Consumer acceptance is important, clear labeling and education can help Food irradiation plants must be licensed by both food regulatory authorities and government agencies. Licensed food irradiation plants must undergo regular quality control to ensure compliance with their license agreement.  RADURA SYMBOL Indicator that a food item has undergone irradiation Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines  Applications of Gamma Irradiation Sterilization and Preservation and Research and Decontamination Shelf Life Extension Development Medical Devices Food Irradiation Gamma Irradiation Chambers Cosmetics Agricultural Products Hospitals and Blood Banks  Applications of Gamma Irradiation on Foods Phytosanitary Quality Microbial Reduction Control Preservation Spices and Seasonings Fruits and Vegetables Grains Fruits and Vegetables Seafood Chicken  Applications of Gamma Irradiation on Foods Figure 5.
