The only other scanning devices I'm aware of use lower energy EM radiation, such as infrared and microwaves, which are not of a high enough energy to ionize atoms and molecules. Thus, they don't damage the food at all.kenny1999 said:
Exposing rice grains to x-rays or other high energy devices can potentially alter their nutritional value. These devices can break down the chemical structure of the rice grains, leading to a decrease in essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
There is a minimal risk of radiation contamination when exposing rice grains to x-rays or other high energy devices. These devices emit a controlled amount of radiation and are designed to minimize any potential risks to human health.
Yes, the appearance and texture of rice grains can be altered by exposure to x-rays or other high energy devices. These devices can cause physical changes in the grains, such as discoloration, changes in texture, and loss of moisture.
Exposing rice grains to x-rays or other high energy devices can have potential benefits, such as killing harmful bacteria and insects that may be present in the grains. This can improve the safety and shelf life of the rice.
The use of x-rays or other high energy devices on rice grains is regulated by government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. These agencies set guidelines and standards for the use of these devices to ensure the safety and quality of the rice grains.
