Summary: Christopher H. Sommers, Ph.D., a research microbiologist and lead scientist, and Xuetong Fan, Ph.D., a research food technologist, both work for the Food Safety Intervention Technologies Research Unit, USDA-ARS-Eastern Regional Research Center, Wyndmoor, PA. Drs. Sommers and Fan were co-moderators of the IFT symposium from which this book arose and have over thirty years combined experience in food irradiation, food technology, chemistry, microbiology and toxicology.Summary: Intro -- Food Irradiation Research and Technology -- Contents -- List of Contributors -- Preface -- Chapter 1 Introduction: Food Irradiation Moving On -- Introduction -- Two Tracks Going Forward -- The Food Safety Track -- The Disinfestation Track -- Bumps Still Remain on the Road Ahead -- Summary -- References -- Chapter 2 Advances in Electron Beam and X-ray Technologies for Food Irradiation -- Introduction -- Basic Irradiation Concepts -- Definition and Units of Absorbed Dose -- Absorbed Dose versus Emitted Radiation Power -- Temperature Rise versus Dose -- Electron Beam Facilities -- Absorbed Dose versus Beam Current -- Electron Beam Technologies -- X-ray Facilities -- Conclusion -- References -- Chapter 3 Gamma Ray Technology for Food Irradiation -- Introduction -- Overview of Co-60 Gamma Technology -- Basic Irradiation Concepts -- Gamma Ray Facilities -- Irradiator Categories -- Criteria for Irradiator Design and Selection -- Pallet Irradiator -- Tote Box Irradiator -- Independent Dose Delivery Carrier and Stationary Irradiations -- Gray Star GenesisTM Underwater Irradiator -- Gamma Ray Facilities for Radiation Research -- Comparison of Irradiation Technologies -- References -- Chapter 4 Regulation of Irradiated Foods and Packaging -- Introduction -- References -- Notes -- Chapter 5 Toxicological Safety of Irradiated Foods -- Introduction -- Food Irradiation -- Benzene, Formaldehyde, and Amines -- Formation and Levels of 2-ACBs in Foods -- Toxicological Safety of 2-ACBs -- 2-ACBs and Tumor Promotion -- Diet and Tumor Promotion -- Conclusions -- References -- Chapter 6 Radiation Chemistry of Food Components -- Basic Radiation Effects -- Radiolysis of Water -- Radiation Chemistry of Major Food Components -- Radiation Chemistry of Lipids -- Radiolysis of Proteins -- Radiolysis of Carbohydrates.PPN: PPN: 809880962Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
