the results of researches in the field of the using x-ray in all over the world have been successful. the main subject which needs more investigation and have been allocated part of the researches in most of the atomic research institutes, is the research about possible harms of irradiated food for human beings, base on the researches, using irradiation for inhibition of sprouting and preservat...

Stored product insects cause millions of dollars per year in losses in stored wheat. Traditionally, storedproduct pest management has relied on chemicals to control insects. In some cases, pest management has been improved by applying chemicals only when needed. An increasing effort is being made to reduce or eliminate pesticide residues in the food supply. This trend has increased since the in...

wheat is one of the important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 % of human energy is supplied from bread in the developing country. combine losses is less than 2-3% in developed countries, while in developing country is about 15-20% in different regions and circumstances of harvesting seasons and field conditions. in this research project that effect of combine typ...

The production of food is responsible for major environmental impacts. Bearing this in mind, it is even worse when food is lost rather than consumed. In Switzerland, 46% of all processing potatoes and 53% of all fresh potatoes are lost on their way from field to fork. Our study therefore compares the environmental impacts of losses of fresh potatoes with those of French fries. With the aid of a...

Post harvest loss has been a bane to food security in Nigeria. Although increased crop yield has been found to be feasible. Post harvest losses especially in fruits such as citrus, banana and pineapple are enormous, the marketing system of these fruits places about 75% of the burden of these losses on the fruit marketers. This study evaluated post harvest losses in fruit marketing in Lagos metr...

Ionizing radiation has been widely used in industrial processes, especially in the sterilization of medicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, and in food processing. Similar to other techniques of food processing, irradiation can induce certain alterations that can modify both the chemical composition and the nutritional value of foods. These changes depend on the food composition, the irra...
