Radiation treatment of containers and food products is based on the physical and biological effects on the living cell. The using ionizing radiation for the treatment of containers will allow to increasing the yoghurt shelf life. In this work the ionizing radiation effects on the microflora inside the containers for yoghurt production were researched. Glass and PET containers were used in the experiments. The magnitudes of ionizing radiation doses that suppress the growth of microorganisms inside the containers were determined. The effect of ionizing radiation on the PET container material was studied by comparing the IR spectra of non-irradiated and irradiated samples.
