The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of royal jelly against radiation-induced oral mucositis in rats. This study was comprised of 48 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, each between eight and 12 weeks old and weighing 275±35 g. These were divided randomly into six groups; Group C (control), Group IR (irradiation), Group IR+RJ50 (irradiation plus 50 mg/kg royal jelly), Group IR+R...

Irradiation of food raw materials has a double effect. Firstly, actually for which the irradiation is carried out, destruction of microorganisms is provided to increase the shelf life of products. Secondly, radiation has a danger from the point of view of the effect on the raw materials and products based on it, causing chemical transformations of constituent components by the mechanism of radi...

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) provides that a food is misbranded if the label accompanying the product is false or misleading in any particular. Congress provided minimal guidance to assist the FDA in making these determinations. When challenged, courts have granted substantial deference to FDA’s various interpretations of what constitute a material fact. However, when confro...

Gamma radiation has been used as a post-harvest food preservation process for many years. Chestnuts are a seasonal product consumed fresh or processed, and gamma irradiation emerged recently as a possible alternative technology for their post-harvest processing, to fulfil the requirements of international phytosanitary trade laws. After harvest and storage, several problems may occur, such as t...

The nature of the flora surviving substerilizing irradiation of foods is dependent on the dose applied and the conditions of applications as well as the microenvironment of the food. At a dose level low enough to preserve acceptable sensory properties of fresh food, few if any of the common contaminants of public health significance survive irradiation. Survivors are weakened and present no uni...

As all the mushrooms, Amanita species experiment several conservation problems, with a post-harvest life limited to a few days. Drying is one of the most used methods in mushrooms preservation. Food irradiation is another possible way to improve food quality and insure its security. Among the emerging irradiation technologies, electron beam has wide application, allowing high throughput, wide f...

application of optical radiation such as laser and other short wavelength radiation for inactivation of many food-borne pathogen microorganisms in food industry (as major challenges in the food industry and so that many diseases are resulted from this food contamination) was known as a new technology. material and methods: effects of green continuous waves lasers on structural (using sds-page m...

4-Methylimidazole (4-MEI) is a simple nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, and recently classified as group 2B by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Caramel coloring is widely applied food coloring in many food products including coffee, carbonated beverages, beer and wine. In present study, ɣ-irradiation was applied to Caramel Color III to reduce the level of 4-MEI witho...
