    21 de may. de 2024 · Currently, food irradiators use one of three kinds of radiation: gamma rays (from cobalt-60 sources), electron beams, or x-rays. All three methods work the same way. Bulk or packaged food passes through a radiation chamber on a conveyor belt.

  2. 14 de may. de 2024 · Gamma rays or gamma radiation are a form of electromagnetic radiation with extremely high frequency and energy. They are a significant topic of study in fields such as nuclear physics, astrophysics, and medical science due to their unique properties and diverse applications.

  3. 6 de may. de 2024 · EtO, a flammable gas used to sterilize materials that aren’t compatible with radiation, heat or steam, is carcinogenic to humans when inhaled. Because of this, facilities must maintain emissions equipment, and products must go through an off-gassing process to ensure no residual EtO remains.

  4. Hace 6 días · An alternative to gamma radiation for SIT in the codling moth Cydia pomonella using a newly designed X-ray irradiator was recently shown to be applicable in a range of insect pests. Notably, the effective dose was significantly higher than those used in the current study, and age was an important factor influencing the effects of radiation on the fitness of the moths.
