At present, interest is growing in the use of an electron beam irradiation for preserving food, which is a more efficient technology than gamma irradiation. This technology has long been applied to the disinfection of dry products having a low density. When processing objects having a density comparable to that of water, an inhomogeneous radiation dose profile may arise due to the insufficient penetrating power of the electron beam. This makes difficult to conduct correct studies. In IPCE RAS the research on the irradiation of food products and test tubes with model media on a radiation installation based on the UELV-10-10-C-70 accelerator with electron energy of 6-10 MeV is carried out. The sizes of irradiated objects often do not allow making an unambiguous conclusion about the uniformity of radiation doses in experiments. In order to find the distribution profile of doses in the objects of the study, the irradiation process is modeled using a specially modified computer code "BEAM SCANNING". In this program, the object is specified as the combination of primitive forms - a cone, a cylinder, a rectangle and a sphere, which is enough for modeling typical forms of objects, used in experiments. Calculations for cylinders and spheres simulating experimental objects-test tubes with model media and spherical products have been performed. The distributions of radiation doses in this objects are presented, methods for increasing the dose homogeneity in experiments are proposed.

During sterilization by electron beam ozone is formed in the air, which increases the efficiency of microorganism suppression. When studying the processes of radiation sterilization, it is necessary to estimate the contribution of the chemical factor of ozone formation. The results of experiments on the irradiation of several cultures of microorganisms are presented, which make possible to evaluate the degree of influence of the ozone formation factor in air radiolysis. In experiments, the dependence of the degree of microbial suppression on the method of installing a test tube with a nutrient medium under a beam of an accelerator was investigated. Irradiation was carried out with horizontal and vertical installation of test tubes with cultures. With the horizontal, the size of the area of contact between the medium and the ozonized air inside the tube is higher than in the vertical tube. The effect of irradiation with a horizontal position of the tube is higher than with the vertical arrangement. The irradiation process was monitored by film dosimeters located near and inside the test tubes with a substrate analog. The calculations of the amount of ozone produced in the experiments were performed, and simulation of the irradiation process was carried out using the computer code "Beam Scanning". From the results of this study we conclude that ozone formation has a significant effect on the suppression of microorganisms during irradiation.

Article is devoted to the study of the irradiation efficiency of model systems containing conditionally pathogenic microorganism by electron beams with energy of 7 and 10 MeV. The research on the effectiveness of inhibition of the initial degree of inoculation of the microorganisms E. coli and Salmonella were carried out. Irradiation doses up to 10 kGy performed at radiation-technological installations the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry RAS and State Research Center Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center. The results of the effective inhibition of initial contamination degree for the two samples, which model liquid and solid nutrient media, were obtained. It is shown that it is necessary to take into account not only the effectiveness of microorganism inhibition on specific products, but also the installation efficiency for a particular sample.
