Abstract:Cellulose, the main constituent of paper-based food packages, is a favorable substrate for fungal growth. Gamma irradiation is a well-established low-cost treatment used for decontamination of paper objects. The dose rate plays an important role in the efficacy of the radiation treatment, but further chemical treatment is also important for imparting specific properties for food packaging applications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of γradiation dose and bioactive compounds grafting on app… Show more
