Electron beam (eBeam) technology is commonly used to sterilize food and food ingredients to inactivate microbial pathogens. In eBeam processing, electrons are accelerated to the speed of light in a linear accelerator, ...
-
(2014-12-18)The study is aimed to understand atomic scale details of defect-boundary interactions, which are critical to develop radiation tolerant fuel cladding materials for harsher neutron environments. By means of molecular dynamics ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This study was conducted to examine the antioxidative effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in irradiated, cooked ground beef patties. The hypothesis was that CLA would be retained during irradiation and would reduce ...
-
(2022-07-25)A Multiphysics analysis framework is developed for predicting the behavior of samples being irradiated in a rabbit system, particularly that of the versatile test reactor. The work de-couples, simplifies, and then re-couples ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The killing effectiveness of electron beam irradiation has not been completely characterized. The type of microorganisms and the composition of food have a direct effect on the efficiency of this technology. The objectives ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Past research conducted by our lab demonstrated that potatoes contain significant levels of phytochemicals important to human health. However, since potatoes are not consumed raw, it is important to determine the effects ...
-
(2017-04-27)A healthy and balance diet includes consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is one of the most cultivated vegetable in the world and is mostly consumed raw. Raw products are recognized as ...
-
(2012-02-14)This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of low-dose irradiation on beef quality and sensory attributes. Beef top rounds (n=10), bottom round flats (n=10), and knuckles (n=18) were collected from a commercial meat ...
-
(2009-05-15)Monte Carlo method is an invaluable tool in the field of radiation protection, used to calculate shielding effectiveness, as well as dose for medical applications. With few exceptions, most of the objects currently simulated ...
-
(2022-04-18)Corrosion related failures pose risk to the integrity of routinely cycled and permanent reactor components long before radiation damage alone adversely impact reactor performance. Compared to Light Water Reactors (LWRs), ...
-
(2011-08-08)Food irradiation is costly in terms of the energy utilized and the time spent, therefore, it is imperative to optimize it in order to avoid sub lethal dose or an overdose both of which have detrimental effects on the quality ...
