(A) Electromagnetic spectrum [62]. (B) Type of ionizing radiations and penetration depth [63]. (C) The process of seafood sterilization through electron beam irradiation [57]. (D) Count and D10 values of biofilm cells treated by electron beam irradiation. (i–iii) The bacterial counts of V. parahaemolyticus, P. fluorescens, and S. putrefaciens after irradiation (0.5 kGy) under mono-culture and co-culture, respectively, and (iv) the same under mono-culture and mixed-culture treated by electron beam irradiation, respectively (Lowercase letters indicate a significant difference, ** p < 0.01) [64]. (E) Content of polyphenolic compounds in relation to the ionizing radiation dose (Lowercase letters indicate homogeneous groups within a group of polyphenolic compounds) [65].
