Irradiation and Food Safety
نویسنده
چکیده
tance and use. In recent years, the U.S. food industry has made great advances toward improving the safety of our nation’s food supply. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the incidence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections are down 36% from 2002 to 2003 (CDC, 2004). Despite this, foodborne diseases continue to present unacceptable public health risks that have generated the need for still further improvements in food safety, a need that is stimulated by increased public awareness of food safety issues. The purpose of this Scientific Status Summary is to review recent activity surrounding food irradiation as a food safety measure and address the issues of concern for consumers, activists, and government in an effort to further greater understanding of this promising technology.

Irradiation’ and its Potential to Food Preservation
In spite of the technologies developed during the last decade, the level of food loss is still high and is reported in many countries. According to the United Nations, more than 30 per cent of the mortality rate world-wide is caused by alimentary diseases. The desire of most countries to make food safer for consumption requires better food preservation and production techniques. In this regard,...

Background: Electron beam irradiation is one of the effective ways to control food-borne pathogens. We evaluated the effect of electron beam irradiation on survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Thyphimurium in minced camel meat during refrigerated storage. Methods: The meat samples were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica serovar Thyphimurium and then...

Several common approaches are used for disinfection of water in this section, but using the approaches (e.g. chlorination) are accompanied with hazardous by-products and also lead to notable changes in odor and flavor of water. Gamma irradiation as an emerging method has been encouraged currently by FAO/WHO for water, wastewater and food treatment. Coliform bacteria belong to common contaminant...
