Re: Re: BBQ coconuts+ back to Deb

[Guest guest]

, why is it irradiated? I used to be an Industrial Radiation Safety Officer

in a cement factory, what I recall of irradiation related to food is as a method

to kill microbes and prolong shelf life of fresh food products. But why on

coconut? The coconut is possibly vulnerable to irradiation because it may

trigger hydrolysis of the fat and formation of hydroperoxides. Thanks for any

clarification available.
