Recent advances on detection of irradiated food. Proceedings.

Date: 1900.01.01

Summary

The 40 papers of this workshop, held in Portonovo di Ancona, Italy, September 24-26, 1991, were divided in 4 areas of new methods of detection: DNA-based method: the most promisising methods involve electrophoretic methods. Microbiological and biological methods: the direct epifluorescent filter technique/aerobic plate count method is readily applicable for identification of irradiated foodstuff such as spices, herbs, meat and poultry and possibly shrimps. Physical methods, including thermoluminescence: improvement and development of a simple multisample apparatus for the measurement of supercooling temperature and to study by DSC the thermograms of lipids extracted by solvent for irradiated and non-irradiated poultry meat. Chemical method: progresses were made for the volatile (hydrocarbon) method; the lipid based methods have shown promising results with irradiated chicken.
