Special aspects of grain heap and corn cobs trapping by modern mechanisms and plants with photoelements have been considered, also the main ways of their functional developing are disclosed
The article analyzes the patented in different countries
methods of using of the ionizing radiation in processes
of storing and processing of plant materials.
Description of nature of the radioactive treatment and
the ionizing radiation is given; examples of possible
sources of the ionizing radiation are listed. Advantages
and disadvantages of the radioactive treatment are
shown. The patent search in databases of the WIPO
was carried out. Patents, registered in countries like
Korea, China, Japan, etc., were analyzed. Methods,
realization of which allows sterilizing of material and
increasing its storing period, and also improving its
processing, were systematized. The carried out survey
of the patent documentation revealed, that at the
present time there is quite a number of methods of
using of the ionizing radiation in storing and processing
of plant materials, which can be explained by the fact,
that irradiation allows to solve quite effectively a
number of important tasks, such as sterilizing the
material and modifying chemical substances in its
content. In the article it is also shown, that,
nevertheless, issues of safety and quality of irradiated
products have not yet been fully resolved. In the end,
the conclusion was made about the relevance of further research in this field
