I've slowly been watching this course over a year. In that time I've quit my job in automotive design and joined the nuclear industry as a mechanical engineer. I've also applied and been accepted to the University of Texas masters' of nuclear engineering program for this Fall. Thanks Dr. Short for the inspiration and your amazing teaching skills. I hope our paths cross one day.
This is one of those subjects that I encountered years ago with one of my mom's friends who is completely against this. There seems to be a lot of confounding information that stuff that gets irritated becomes radioactive or somehow permanently damaged.
35:59 I GET TO BE SMART!: Fats in foods are long carbon chains to a triglyceride backbone and not aromatic like benzene. Flavors on the other hand are often aromatic hence where the original latin or greek comes from (always mix the two up, should have paid more attention in english) those can be smelt in ppb and would screw up taste.
The food is irradiated, not you. If you were irradiated that heavily, it would kill you, naturally. However, if you pay attention at around 10:00, he goes over which types of radiation are safe for food irradiation and won't leave any radioactivity in the food. Gamma radiation generally does not create radioisotopes at below 5 MeV.
This is tremendous content, loved this series. As a product designer though now I can't unsee that insane looking app being used that I am pretty sure was designed by a color blind engineer.
lol when my parents took me to a finer restaurant than I am used to and I did order pork I felt like the meat tasted like it had a little bit of shit in it glad to find out that I may have well been right or not glad I guess lol

You can read for yourself in the link below. Scroll down for effects on meat and fruits. In short it does reduce the vitamins you get out your food. www.scielo.br/j/babt/a/VdyBWQztGhTG9CC6z9yQ5xL/?lang=en#:~:text=Water%20soluble%20vitamins%20are%20less,with%20the%20cooking%2Dirradiation%20combination.
Professor, you armpit is full of this heat!, watch out with your radioactive deodorant!... I am just teasing, i would have been a nightmare with you if i were your student x´3 Thank you very much for all your interesting classes. greetings from Costa Rica and the pineapples plague,... i dont eat them at all... :'c

thats great. one of the few useful applications of the internet xD
Great nod to the worlds best MRE consumer. Steve1989, we salute you
...Nice.
nice hiss
The attention he takes to guide his students to good sources, vs junk sources is fantastic.
MIT Thank you for this amazing course. Please plan to make a video series for 22.02, I am looking forward to it. @MIT OpenCourseWare
Yeah, I can't find that play list. 😢
A good reference on what things smell or taste like is "Common Fragrence and Flavor Materials" by Bsauer, Garbe, and Surburg. Wilwy, 4td ed, 2001.
Dear Sir God Bless you, i watched your entire Lesson, thank you so much, very nice work ! Hope you can continue in the future !
An excellant conclusion to a fantastic course. Looking forward to more nuclear courses from OCW!

This course is thoroughly educational and a joy to watch.
Congrats to the 6k that made it to the end.
Absolutely loved this class!!
"Very intresting presentation. Thank you.
As a german i have to say it sounds cute how he pronounce „Bremsstrahlung“.
Noooooo.... it's the end of the course... I need more nuclear brain food !! 😩
Thank you professor. Grad of The Culinary Inst of America/ SUNY Stonybrook.
Is it safe to work with products irradiated with x-rays
Steve1989MREInfo is the you tube channel of the guy that eats MRE’s from the civil war.
Does this mean that the optimal temperature for irradiating food is < 0°C?
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Lecturer , I watched the entire play list 📃, excellent information. I published an article in a magazine from this information, cheers 🥂.
I wonder about the creation of prions through irradiation of proteins ?
Thanks for the course, really good.
Examine rising cases bowel cancer and the ubiquitous irradiation of fresh and other foodstuffs. Now that would be useful.
If it kills bugs, bacteria and reproductive cells and we consume it, what does it kill or damage in our bodies?
Your nuts, it makes them into stone and they won't work. This is basic and proven science as according to the Bible
Nothing. The radiation is not absorbed by the food.
The food is irradiated, not you. If you were irradiated that heavily, it would kill you, naturally.

This is so cool!
Funny you should mention scurvy, someone got diagnosed with this recently
Does the food have any food value afterwards?
Yes
Regarding the topic of poop contributing to pleasant smells, guess what is expensive and used in fragrances? It's Ambergris.
"yeah it's gross but that's why we do food irradiation" haha. Yes!
16:21 There's a fourth and cheapest way, mash an alpha emmiter with Beryllium
Thank you for this course

My modern physics professor literally read from a book!
Does Irradiation damage the molecules of Vitamins?
yes

Huh. I've never heard of irradiation of food.
Turns out it's simply forbiddon in my home country. interesting. xD

Watching this after covid-19, "If there's any organization you think you can trust about health, it's the World Health Organization."
ooof.
Not today's WHO
