What is Food Irradiation about?

## Dose (absorbed) The dose(absorbed) is the amount of energy deposited per unit mass of material Dose rate The dose of ionizing radiation delivered per unit time, often expressed as gray per hour or minute (Gy/h, Gy/min) or kGy per hour or minute (kGy/h, kGy/min) Dosimeter A device that, when exposed to ionizing radiation, exhibits a quantifiable change in some property that can be related to absorbed dose using instrumentation Dosimetry The measurement, calculation and assessment of absorbed dose, consisting of dosimeters, measurement instruments, and procedure for the system's use D 10 -value The amount of radiation necessary to reduce the population of specific microorganisms by 90% (one log 10 cycle) under stated conditions Electron accelerator A machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel electrons to very high speeds and energies to exit the machine as an electron beam Electron volt (eV) A unit of energy equivalent to the energy acquired by an electron when accelerated by a potential of 1 V in a vacuum. 1 Mev 1⁄4 1 million electron volt Gray The unit of absorbed dose. 1 Gy is equal to 1 J kg -1 absorbed energy. 1 Gy 1⁄4 100 rad Ionizing radiation Forms of radiation wh
