Abstract

Since the ionizing radiation for agriculture has been utilized as a tool of cultivar improvement, a lot of plants having new characters were created by heavy ion-beams. While food irradiation is realized for many purpose among many countries, only sprouting inhibition of potatoes is permitted in Japan. Several detection methods of irradiated foods were developed to confirm the food labeling. Novel methods are also done in progress for detecting various kinds of irradiated foods.
