Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the efficiency of electron beam irradiation in the food industry to reduce the microbiological contamination of agricultural and food products during their use and long-term storage. Experimental results on the irradiation of model environments that contain microbial cultures typical of the food industry are given.
