Radioprotective Effects on Late Third-Instar <i>Bactrocera dorsalis</i> (Diptera: Tephritidae) Larvae in Low-Oxygen Atmospheres

Radioprotective Effects on Late Third-Instar <i>Bactrocera dorsalis</i> (Diptera: Tephritidae) Larvae in Low-Oxygen Atmospheres

Ionizing radiation creates free radicals, the effect of which is enhanced by the presence of oxygen; a low oxygen level produces radioprotective effects for insects compared with irradiation in ambient air. Modified (controlled) atmosphere packaging is used for maintaining quality and shelf-life ext...
