| Course abstract | |
| The course gives a general idea of what is ionic food, as well as introduces the fundamental technologies. The course deals with radiation, X-ray and electron accelerators for general principles. Physical processes, irradiated food and radioactive contamination, units and physical parameters that are measured. Standardization of process and product safety. Plant and animal products processing. Dosimetry and food safety. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
