The International Atomic Energy Agency's publication, 'Development of Electron Beam and X Ray Applications for Food Irradiation,' presents a comprehensive exploration of advanced technologies in food irradiation, focusing on electron beam and X-ray applications. This report is the culmination of a coordinated research project aimed at enhancing food safety and extending shelf life without altering sensory qualities or introducing chemicals. It discusses the advantages of using ionizing radiation to control spoilage and pests, and its application in phytosanitary treatments. The book delves into various studies and experiments conducted between 2015 and 2021, assessing the feasibility and impact of these technologies on different food products. Intended for scientists, industry professionals, and policymakers, it advocates for the adoption of machine-based irradiation technologies as a complement to gamma irradiation, addressing global food safety challenges.
