The global population is projected to reach approximately 9 billion by 2024, posing significant challenges in ensuring adequate food supply. Meeting this demand requires strategies that provide nutritious, safe, and sustainable food.  Electron beam food irradiation stands out as a powerful tool with applications not only in phytosanitary treatment, but also in pathogen elimination and shelf-life extension.

Reveam has completed numerous food treatment studies with multiple commodities demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness in all of these areas.  Results included:

Pathogen Reduction - Electron beam irradiation effectively targets a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Shelf-Life Extension - By inactivating spoilage organisms, eBeam irradiation extends the shelf life of various food products.  Fresh produce, meats, and seafood benefit from increased longevity, reducing food waste and enhancing food security.

Consumers increasingly seek minimally processed foods produced in an environmentally sustainable manner. Electron beam food irradiation aligns with these preferences, allowing for year-round availability of fresh produce while minimizing chemical additives.

Food irradiation has received universal endorsements from organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), and country regulatory organizations. However, public understanding of this technology remains limited, hindering its widespread adoption.
