Determination of the Safety of Irradiated Products by the Content of Quinones

Abstract

The result of research, conducted using our immuno-chemical testing system (Reaction of Indirect Hemaglutination) shows that application of radiation exposure to farming and agro products in dosages needed for prolongation of their storage lifetime, for prevention of rotting and germination or for decontamination of feed-stuff from natural microflora and insects; leads to increase in radiotoxins contents thereof with maximums reached on 7-15 days. Besides, traces of radiotoxins in reaction of indirect hemaglutination depend on type of product, radiation dosage and time of product storage after radiation treatment.
