It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of publications concerning foods and radiations. Instead, it is an attempt to familiarize the reader with pertinent knowledge of a unified, interdisciplinary concept of various electromagnetic radiations and corresponding effects on foods. Consideration was given to similarities and differ- ences between various segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. The broad approach of this book was considered to be crucial for cross-discipline comparisons. The reader is introduced to the electromagnetic spectrum in the Prologue and then the book follows the wavelengths, from short to long values. Chapter 1 deals with ionizing radiation: historical background, sources of radiation employed in food treatment, units of measurement, and fundamentals of radiation chemistry. A survey of potential applications of ionizing radiation in food technology is followed by a description of methods for radiation dosimetry. Safety and wholesomeness of irradiated foods, analytical methods for postirradiation dosimetry in foods, and consumer acceptance of food irradiation conclude this section. Chapter 2 intrudes into the next segment of the spectrum: ultra- violet-visible radiation. The general presentation of this electro- magnetic emission and illumination source enables the discussion of its effects on foods, including applications in food analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281759232151,"sku":"9783642771088","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642771088.webp?v=1769300150","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/electromagnetic-radiations-in-food-science-9783642771088","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
