Produkte ushqimore - Zbulimi me anë të termolumineshencës i ushqimeve të rrezatuara nga të cilat mund të vecohen minerale silikate

Foodstuffs - Thermoluminescence detection of irradiated food from which silicate minerals can be isolated

Scope

This European Standard specifies a method for the detection of irradiation treatment of food and/or food ingredients by thermoluminescence analysis of contaminating silicate minerals. This method is applicable to those foodstuffs from which a sufficient amount of silicate minerals can be isolated.
The method has been successfully tested in interlaboratory tests with herbs and spices as well as their mixtures [1] to [3], shellfish including shrimps and prawns [4] to [6], both fresh and dehydrated fruits and vegetables [7] to [9], and potatoes [10]. Other studies [11] to [46] demonstrate that the method is applicable to a large variety of foodstuffs.
