Solution
- This is a new technique of preservation, which is at the stage of experimentation.
- The W.H.O. has advised the use of this process only in the case of wheat, onions, and potatoes.
- In this process, gamma rays or high-speed electrons are used to destroy micro-organisms.
- These radiations are termed ionising radiations.
- The advantage of using this process is that the food can be stored even without refrigeration.
