Abstract
Three international trials on the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to detect irradiated meats containing bone were sponsored as part of a coordinated research programme by the International Atomic Energy Agency. In these trials, 11 laboratories used EPR to examine a total of 154 bone samples from three different meats. In one of the trials food irradiation processing conditions were simulated. the results were 100% successful for identifying both irradiated and unirradiated bones. A protocol for the EPR method is provided.Keywords
