What is radiation processing

Radiation processing consists in exposing a product to an accelerated electron beam , to Gamma rays emitted by a radioactive source or to X Rays in order to preserve or improve some of its characteristics..

THE RADIATION TREATED PRODUCT DOES NOT BECOME RADIOACTIVE!

Radiation processing is characterised by the absorbed dose, (absorbed energy per mass unit of the treated product).

The dose unit is the Gray (Gy). 1 Gray = 1 Joule per kilogram of matter.
