taoui and Tantaoui-Elaraki, 1; Lacroix et al., 1; Mahrour et al., 1a, 1b; Ouattaraet al., . The utilization of these plants has synergistic effect with irradiation andcontributes avoring agent to foods (Aboultab et al., 1; Mahrour et al., 1a, 1b). Today there is general consensus in the scientic community about the whole- someness of foods treated by gamma irradiation (CAST, 1; WHO, 1; Diehl, . Several agricultural products are important commodities in international trade, often the trade of these products is seriously hampered by the infestation of several species of insectsand mites. The presence of parasites, some microorganisms, yeasts, and molds is also thesource of problems. Irradiation alone or combined with other processes can contribute toensuring food safety of healthy and compromised consumers (pregnant mothers, immuno-compromised acquired immunodeciency syndrome [AIDS] patients, medicated patients, and aging persons), satisfying quarantine requirements, and controlling severe losses dur- ing transportation and commercialization. Several investigations and transfer technologystudies have demonstrated the usefulness of mild heat treatment prior to low-dose irradia-tion in extending the shelf life of certain fresh exotic fruits without affecting their normalquality attributes. By using combined treatments, minimal level of irradiation that isless detrimental to quality attributes of the commodity and may be effective in inactivating toxigenic microorganisms can be used. 2 TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF FOOD IRRADIATION 2.1 Characteristics of Ionizing RadiationThe ionizing radiation that is being discussed is part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the radio waves on one end and the high-energy -rays and gamma rays at the other end. In the middle there are the visible light rays, with infrared and ultraviolet rays on each side.Between the radio and infrared rays are the microwaves, which are becoming common inhouseholds. Since all these are part of the elect
