This standard BS EN 13708:2022 - TC Tracked Changes. Foodstuffs. Detection of irradiated foodstuff containing crystalline sugar by ESR spectroscopy is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.050 General methods of tests and analysis for food products

This document specifies a method for the detection of foodstuff containing crystalline sugars which have been treated with ionizing radiation, by analysing the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum, also called electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum, of the foodstuff, see [1] to [7]. Interlaboratory studies have been successfully carried out on dried figs, dried mangoes, dried papayas and raisins, see [1] to [3].
