Radiation Treatment Service

In today's world of unparalleled food insecurity, the globalization of food systems has brought upon a double-edged sword of tackling post-harvest losses while also trying to mitigate the environmental imbalance caused by the existing storage system. The food and agriculture organization claims that 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year in the world which raises  greenhouse gas emissions and causes depletion of valuable resources. Conventional methods of storing food like refrigeration, use of chemical preservatives, and processed preservation food methods barely reach the set benchmark of encompassing efficacy, safety, and ecological balance.

One of the newest non-thermal technology-based food storing systems is that of Radiation Treatment. The company being discussed implements high-end irradiation methods guaranteeing food safety, prolonging its shelf life while also being commercially viable. As an organization focused on drug and stem cell induced biotech environmentally friendly solutions, it is supremely motivated to engage in ecological sustainability practices.

Our radiation treatment service is geared towards agricultural producers, food processors, and exporters who are looking for non-chemical preservation methods. The service aims to mitigate microbial contamination, slow down ripening and pest control in food products through the use of prescribed levels of ionizing radiation. The method enhances the shelf life of products while retaining its nutritional components and the taste. We offer this service under compliance with developed international standards.

Technical Principles

The treatment of radiation is based on the principle of energy ionization radiating biological material. Either photons of high energy and electrons which expose food either in gamma or x-ray form expose the food matrix heating on a cellular level without producing heat or causing damage to the surface. The mechanisms are:

• Ionizing rays damage the DNA and RNA of microorganisms through direct damage by the rays splitting and merging allowing a chance for the microbe to multiply further.
• Certain ribosomes that induce rot or can induce senescence are turned off by  Ionizing radiation.
• Pest larvae and eggs are rendered harmless in grains and fruits ensuring that there are no parasites in the imports.

Limiting dosage is either 0.1 and 10 kGy, calibrated with precision through the type of products and organisms targeted ensuring that the integrity of the product is not sacrificed.

Radiation Technologies

Three irradiation modalities are integrated into our service gamma irradiation blended with cobalt 60 isotopes induces high energy photons that are ideal for dense products like meat as well as irregularly shaped packaged items such as spices.

• Surface contaminants are dealt with directly by electrons in the beam, meaning they can be used for thin items like leafy greens.
• X-Ray Irradiation: Best suited for mixed-load processing due to its combination of deep penetration and flexibility of the electrical source.
• Each technology is adopted depending on product features, the required throughput, and other fundamental criteria processes.

Application fields

• Fruits and Vegetables: Delay ripening of mangoes and strawberries; suppression of sprouting in potatoes and onions.
• Grains and Pulses: Disinfestation of rice, wheat, and coffee beans.
• Meat and Fish Products: Eliminating Listeria and Vibrio species in chicken and shrimp.
• Condiments and Seasonings: Microbial decontamination without the loss of volatile oils.
• Ready-to-eat meals: sterilization of packaged pre-cooked food supplements for those with weak immune systems.

Environmental Benefits

• Carbon Footprint Reduction: 50% decrease in emission of spoiling per one ton of treatment food.
• Water Conservation: Wasteful antimicrobial chemical post-harvest washing is eliminated.
• Circular Economy: Encourages efficiency from the farm to the fork, and responds to UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our Services

Our company offers the following services in the field of food irradiation preservation:

• Food Irradiation Sterilization Service: We provide professional irradiation sterilization for a variety of foods, effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and viruses to ensure food hygiene and safety.
• Food Irradiation Insect Control Service: Our irradiation technology can thoroughly eliminate pests, parasites, and their eggs in food, preventing pest damage and ensuring food quality without the need for chemical pesticides.

• Food Irradiation Mold Prevention Service: Through irradiation treatment, we can inhibit the growth and reproduction of mold in food, preventing food from molding and extending its shelf life.
• Food Irradiation Fresh-keeping Service: Our irradiation technology can extend the shelf life of food while maintaining its freshness and quality, inhibiting the physiological activities of food and slowing down the maturation and aging process.
• Food Irradiation Storage Service: We provide long-term food storage solutions through irradiation treatment, effectively preventing food spoilage and loss during storage and transportation.
