Abstract

Increasing population worldwide makes cultivation of wide variety of crops, efficient agriculture practices, and preservation of food commodities a basic need. On the other hand, microbial contamination in foods & crops is found to be a significant problem for food losses. For every three parts of total food production, one factor is lost or reduced during production in the food supply chain. To overcome this problem, different preservation technologies & methods come all over across. Unlike traditional food technologies, novel technologies work efficiently & effectively without compromising on food quality, safety and consumer acceptance. Food irradiation is a promising technology that is non-chemical, non-thermal, and applicable to all products without any negative impact on macro and micronutrients. Familiar irradiation sources are Gamma rays,
