Abstract

This European Standard specifies a method for the detection of irradiation treatment of food by thermolumi-nescence 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] and chrimps [4], [5]. From other studies, including an interlaboratory test on fresh fruits and vegetables, it may be concluded that the method, after suitable modification, is applicable to a large variety of foods including sea-food d [6] to [38]. At present, this standard pertains only to the detection of the irradiation treatment of herbs, spices, their mixtures and shrimps.
