One of the main reasons for the use of ionizing radiation is to inactivate living organisms that cause spoilage and other forms of quality deterioration or are a hazard to the health of the consumer. The application potential of ionizing radiation for food products is based mainly on the fact that ionizing radiation damages DNA and very effectively inhibits DNA synthesis and further cell division. Damage to the genetic material can also occur indirectly because the interaction of radiation with water molecules results in the production of reactive molecules such as hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen atoms, which induce on the adjacent
