Gamma radiation of wheat is effective in reducing microbial contamination and protecting against insect infestation, which can significantly increase the life of wheat-based products like atta. Non-radiated wheat is more susceptible to fungal growth, insect spoilage, and loss of nutritional value over time. Radiated wheat reduces microfungi concentration, effectively increasing the shelf life of wheat grains by preventing issues like spoilage during storage.

Benefits of Radiated Wheat Harmful Effects of Non Radiated Wheat
• Reduces growth and • Various types of insects and concentration of microfungi. microorganisms spoil wheat Thereby effectively increasing grains, after harvesting, causing the shelf life of the grains. problems during storage, resulting in lower yields and reduced shelf life. Some Benefits of Wheat irradiation • Prevention of Food Borne Illness: Eliminates Salmonella and Escherichia coli (E. coli). • Preservation : destroys or inactivates organisms that cause spoilage and decomposition and extend the shelf life • Control of Insects • Delay of Sprouting and Ripening
