Food irradiation: A proposed economic research agenda and implications for agribusiness
In April 1986 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved low level irradiation of fresh fruits and vegetables for insect control and delayed ripening. The Department of Energy (DOE) is interested in establishing six food irradiation research facilities in the US. This article provides a background on food irradiation and identifies the research issues likely to become important as food irradiation becomes commercial.
