Most commercial dried laver products show higher microbial contamination. This work evaluated effects of approved dose (7 kGy)-recommended in the Korean Food Code for algal food-of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation on microbiological, physicochemical and luminescence properties of dried laver products. E-beam irradiation caused dose-dependent microbial reductions. For example, a 4 kGy irradiation dose reduced coliform (<2.5 log CFU/g) to undetectable levels (<10 CFU/g), while a 7 kGy irradiation dose reduced total aerobic bacteria count (6.6 log CFU/g) by approximately 2 log cycles. Physicochemical attributes of dried lavers were not significantly ( > 0.05) affected before and after 7 kGy irradiation, but carotenoid content was significantly ( < 0.05) reduced at 10 kGy irradiation. Irradiated samples (>4 kGy) could be detected from non-irradiated ones by luminescence techniques. Overall, results indicated that <7 kGy irradiation is recommended along with other heat treatment for improving microbiological contamination by at most 4 log CFU/g in dried lavers.

Polymerizable ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes (PIL-GPEs) were developed for the first time using high-energy electron beam irradiation for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). By incorporating an imidazolium-based ionic liquid (PIL) into the polymer network, PIL-GPEs achieved high ionic conductivity (1.90 mS cm at 25 °C), a lithium transference number of 0.

This study focused on the formulation, electron beam (e-beam) crosslinking, and characterisation of hydrogels enriched with lavender oil (LO) to enhance their structural and functional properties for biomedical applications. Stable hydrogels were synthesised using water-soluble polymers and suitable ratios of Tween 80 and Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively, via e-beam irradiation at doses up to 70 kGy. The most effective crosslinking was achieved with a radiation dose of 30 kGy, depending on the concentrations of surfactants and LO.

This article presents an efficient method for isolating cellulose nanocrystals (CNcs) from seaweed waste using a combination of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation and acid hydrolysis. This approach not only reduces the chemical consumption and processing time, but also improves the crystallinity and yield of the CNcs. The isolated CNcs were then thermally annealed at 800 and 1000 °C to produce porous nanocarbon materials, which were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to assess their structural and chemical properties.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation at different doses (0-15 kGy) on the solubility, rheological properties, emulsification characteristics, and moisture distribution of chicken myofibrillar proteins (MPs). Irradiation treatment notably increased the solubility, surface hydrophobicity, emulsification properties, and apparent viscosity of MPs, based on conformational changes caused by irradiation-induced oxidative denaturation of proteins. However, high doses of irradiation (15 kGy) induced in excessive cross-linking and aggregation of proteins, reducing the solubility, emulsification properties, and shear stress.

Understanding the effects of laser light, water vapor, and energetic electron irradiation on the intrinsic properties of perovskites is important in the development of perovskite-based solar cells. Various phase transition and degradation processes have been reported when these agents interact with perovskites separately. However, detailed studies of their synergistic effects are still missing.
