Abstract
SINAGAMA facility at MINT is one of 146 commercial gamma facilities operating worldwide. It has recently been offering services and research and development to medical industry to decontaminate herbs and pharmaceuticals. Reception by the industry has been encouraging and volume treated is rising. This is due to the versatility of the technology and concern of consumer and industry of the excessive use of chemicals for decontamination of herbs and unavailability of effective treatment for pharmaceuticals. Excessive repeated and uncontrolled use of chemical including phosphines and methyl bromide for instance leaves residues and can become potential carcinogen. Use of heat may affect the quality and bioactive components in herbs and pharmaceutical materials. In contrast gamma processing has minimal effect on the medicinal quality and bioactive components of herbs and pharmaceuticals. This paper discusses gamma processing technology its commercial and technical feasibility consumer acceptance and worldwide application of gamma processing.
