Radurization

Radurization

Radurization is the application to food irradiation to foods using a dose of ionizing radiation sufficient to enhance its keeping quality by causing a substantial decrease in numbers of viable specific spoilage microorganisms. The required dose is in the range of 0.4 - 10 kGy [J.F. Diehl, Safety of Irradiated Foods, Marcel Dekker, 1995, p. 99 ff.] .
