Irradiation

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 Conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to irradiation and about 366282 articles are being published on the current trends in irradiation. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to irradiation are being carried out. As reported in Effect of Gamma Irradiation on Carotenoids and Vitamin C Contents of Papaya Fruit (Carica papaya L.) Cv. Golden, Gamma irradiation in food technology has been considered an effective process for decay control, extending shelf life of a wide variety of highly perishable fruits due to the fast ripening after harvest). Studies have shown that irradiation increases the shelf life of various tropical and subtropical fruits such as papayas, mangoes and bananas and also leads to the inactivation of microorganisms. However, irradiation process can produce serious undesirable effects on food nutritional quality.
The Journal of Food Processing & Technology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International–a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in irradiation. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Food Processing & Technology provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of irradiation, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
OMICS International–a pioneer in organizing international conferences Food Technology-2016 is designed to offer comprehensive sessions that address current issues in Dairy farming, Flavor chemistry, Food Policy, Food contaminant, Molecular gastronomy, Nutraceutical, Nutrigenomics.Food policy is the public policy which deals how food is produced, processed, distributed, and purchased. It is designed to influence the operation of the food and agriculture system.
