Irradiation disinfestation of dried fruits and nuts. Final report

摘要

This collection of research papers is the result of a research project which examined the technical and economic feasibility of irradiation as a means of disinfesting dried fruits and nuts of postharvest insects. The project was overseen by representatives from the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Department of Energy, the University of California, CH2M HILL, and the dried fruit and nut industry. The actual research was undertaken by the Agricultural Research Service and the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, the University of California, Riverside, and CH2M HILL. The papers themselves represent the work of their authors and each paper is itself a complete entity. The individual papers were abstracted and indexed for the database.
