IIR documentSummary
THE TREATMENT OF FOODS WITH IONIZING RADIATIONS UP TO A DOSE OF 10 KILOGRAYS PRODUCES NO TOXIC PRODUCTS AND IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED AS SAFE. SUCH DOSES DO NOT STERILIZE FOODS BUT KILL SUFFICIENT NUMBERS OF BACTERIA TO PROVIDE A USEFUL EXTENSION OF SHELF LIFE. FISH CAN BE IRRADIATED WITH 3-4 KILOGRAYS WITHOUT CAUSING DETECTABLE ODOUR OR FLAVOUR CHANGES AND AT THIS LEVEL THE SHELF LIFE OF MOST FISH IS INCREASED BY 2 TO 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION, GRAM NEGATIVE PATHOGENIC BACTERIA SUCH AS SALMONELLA AND VIBRIO SPECIES, ARE RELATIVELY SENSITIVE TO IRRADIATION AND THE PROCESS CAN BE USED TO ELIMINATE THEM FROM FISHERY PRODUCTS.
