Eight types of spices and herbs or their mixtures of Asian origin have been investigated for detection of irradiation treatment using thermoluminescence (TL) of insoluble mineral contaminants adhering to the samples. These samples were irradiated by 6°Co ?-rays (at absorbed doses 1, 5 and I0 kGy) as

Irradiated seafood can be identified by determining thermoluminescence of minerals isolated from the intestines. In this study the suitability of different minerals was investigated. The main mineral fractions isolated from the intestines of seafood were single silicate grains, shell pieces and clay
Irradiated foods can be detected by thermoluminescence (TL) of contaminating minerals. Altogether about 300 lots of herbs, spices, berries, mushrooms and seafood were studied by the TL method. Irradiated herbs and spices were easily differentiated from unirradiated ones two years after irradiation o
