Thermoluminescence Analysis to Detect Irradiated Spices, Herbs and Spice-and-Herb Mixtures — An Intercomparison Study A Report in English and German

摘要

This report describes in detail an inter-laboratory test to detect the irradiation of spices, herbs and spice-and-herb mixtures in the dose range used for reduction of the number of contaminating microorganisms.nApprox. 3 months and 9 months after irradiation the 14 participating laboratories determined the thermoluminescence (TL) of mineral contaminations that were isolated from coded samples. 18 different products (six spices, six herbs and six spice-and-herb mixtures) were examined.
