Given what we know, we can confirm that both gamma rays and x-rays can be used to slow the decay process in foods.

What are gamma rays and x-rays?

  • Both of these are forms of ionizing radiation.
  • Applying these to food is known as food irradiation.
  • What this accomplishes, is that the food that is irradiated will have its chemical bonds altered, slowing the decay process.

Therefore, since both gamma rays and x-rays offer ionizing radiation to the food, which affects the chemical bonds and allows the food to have a longer shelf life, we can confirm that they can be used to slow the decay process in foods.
