A must-read if you are interested in phytosanitary irradiation
This is a very well and clearly written book. The book will serve as a very good reference book for those who are interested phytosanitary irradiation. The information is up to date and clearly presented. I would strongly recommend this book as a must read for those who are interested in understanding more about how fresh produce and its associated insects and pests respond to ionizing radiation

Irradiation for Quality Improvement...........
This book written by Rivka-Bakai Golan and Peter Follett is a useful tool for each one implied or interested in the irradiation like a practical method to improve fresh produce safety and quality and to reduce the use of the chemical products. These great demonstrations with the theory about technology, the effects on the products and the living organisms give a focused inventory, country by country, about the applications, of the lawful aspects and the authorizations. This book can be the only customer support for a petition with the national authorities or European about this process.
