Radiation Processing for Food Products & Ingredients
When used to treat products for human consumption low doses of radiation can safety and effectively reduce harmful yeast, mold, fungi and bacteria including E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella while maintaining the nutritional value and integrity of the product eg, appearance, texture, taste, and aroma.
Radiation technologies (Gamma, Electron Beam and X-Ray) can serve many purposes
✓ Prevent foodborne illness
✓ Extend shelf life / reduce spoilage
✓ Maintain quality
✓ Reduce potential recalls
✓ Protect the reputation of a brand & company
✓ Maintain customer loyalty
Our goal is to provide you with the radiation technology that is best suited for your product while meeting your microbe reduction goals, whether that be sterilization or bioburden reduction.
