Radiation Processing for Food Products & Ingredients
When used to treat products for human consumption low doses of radiation introduce a critical kill-step to effectively reduce harmful pathogens 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
✓ Meet Export Regulations in countries that require irradiation
✓ before import to help ensure safety & biosecurity
✓ 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 microbial reduction goals.
