The first applications in food irradiation using X-rays were performed in 1921. The purposes of the applications are the prevention, reduction or elimination of both microorganisms causing food spoilage and biochemical changes, prolong shelf life of foods or control of ripening period in foods. The first legal regulations related to food irradiation began after 1983. In Turkey, "Food Irradiation Regulation" was enforced in 1999. As an alternative to chemical applications, irradiation has been used for many products. In this study, irradiation applications on nuts have been reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
