Gamma irradiation is a cold chain process where products are exposed to ionizing radiation for a specific duration under controlled conditions. During this exposure, gamma rays penetrate the products, effectively sterilizing them without making the items radioactive. The irradiated products remain safe for consumption, and there is no change in their color, texture, smell, taste, or feel after the process.
Gamma irradiation eliminates harmful bacteria, pathogens, and viruses, ensuring the safety of the treated products. Importantly, no residue of the radiation remains in the products after the process.
This technology is globally accepted and widely used in the sterilization of pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, food, agricultural, and horticultural items. Due to gamma rays’ high penetrating power, a 360-degree radiation effect is achieved, allowing large quantities of products to be treated efficiently in a short period.
Gamma irradiation ensures the safety and longevity of products without compromising their quality, making it a key technology in preserving and sterilizing a broad range of items.
