Low Energy Electron Beam Dosimetry for Food Irradiation Purpose
Moe Min Htwe | Urszula Gryczka
Abstract: This research aims to study low energy dosimetry for food irradiation in order to do the decontamination purpose of food commodities like dried spices, grains, seeds, nuts and similar dry ingredients. Low - energy electrons (200, 230, 260, 300) keV irradiation were applied to a stack of Riso B3 dosimetric foils of 18um thickness. Preparation of depth dose distribution is presented. In this work, ILU 6 accelerator at Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT), Warsaw, Poland was used.
