FOOD SAFETY PROGRAMMES BASED ON IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGIES

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization is deeply concerned by the fact that one third of the world's annual food production is wasted... and many developing countries do not have the basic necessities for food production... FAO Resolution 2.1

Implementation of food treatment technologies contributes to food security programs worldwide and is essential for product quality assurance.

Food irradiation has a number of benefits, such as sprouting inhibition, slower ripening, it stops activity of insects, their larvae and all types of pathogens. This ensures food safety and increases its shelf life. For details, please refer to IAEA Safety Standards

BEAMCOMPLEX

Beamcomplex, a research and manufacturing company, operates in the field of nuclear physics, develops new food safety programmes based on radiation technologies using ionizing radiation (X-Ray and E-beam) for phytosanitary treatment of food products and builds complexes to implement these technologies.

Within the framework of state food security programs, Beamcomplex performs a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of existing technological processes and logistical capabilities of assets contributing to the preservation of crops, as well as imported products in order to determine the location for complexes with electron accelerators.

Beamcomplex develops and executes food security programs using accelerated electron treatment technology for agricultural and food products to increase shelf life and ensure quality assurance. The company deploys complexes and launches production of food products with high shelf life to replenish the reserve stock of food products.

OUR MISSION

IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR BUILDING A BALANCED FOOD SECURITY SYSTEM FOR ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

Ionizing Radiation Technology
Science has studied the effects of using ionizing radiation technologies on materials, substances and products of various compositions. These effects make it possible to use ionizing radiation - accelerated electrons and X-rays - in a variety of applications.

The electron accelerator generates E-beams and X-rays which penetrate through the products, materials and substances and destroy pathogens, fungi, insect pests and their larvae.

Benefits of Ionizing Radiation Technology
- Guaranteed destruction of all insect pests, their larvae, pathogens
- No need for poisonous gas fumigants and other chemicals
- No residual radiation in product
- Possibility to treat products in hermetically sealed packaging, which eliminates the risk of re-contamination and spoilage of product
Benefits of Technology Implementation
- Ensuring the implementation of national programs of food and food security, as well as social stability and well-being of the population
- Possibility to create funds for food products with ultra-long shelf life
- Providing the population of the country with quality food product
- Reduction of intestinal diseases in the population of the country
- Preservation of crops in full
- Increasing the shelf life of products
- Possibility to store certain types of products for a long time without refrigeration

Benefits of Complexes with Electron Accelerators
- High productivity
- Various conveyor systems built to order
- Various treatment options: in bulk, in boxes, on pallets
- No radioactive isotopes (Cobalt, etc.), which must be replaced every 5 years
- Phytosanitary treatment of large volumes of agricultural products during the harvest period within a short period of time
