Abstract
Electron accelerators may be used in food processing for the irradiati on of various spices in both packaged and bulk form. The electron ener gy range of 2-10 MeV has been investigated, and basic technological pa rameters have been measured and calculated. Since these studies requir e suitable dosimetry systems for depth-dose distributions, the applica bility of various solid and liquid dosimeters are included along with suggestions of their use for specific purposes. Based on the experimen ts and computations, recommendations are made for electron treatment o f dry food products.
