G. Lesgards et al., DETECTION OF IRRADIATED FOODSTUFFS - USE OF HYDROCARBONS DERIVED FROMLIPIDS, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 93(1), 1996, pp. 151-156
Following a general review of researches relative to identification of
irradiated foodstuffs, the European quite official protocols are brie
fly described: Electron Spin Resonance, Thermoluminescence and Gas Chr
omatography; this last technique is particularly described for food co
ntaining lipids. we point out the problems of available time, sensibil
ity and more fundamental ones involved in this last protocol.
