QUESTION

Irradiation is ineffective in destroying?

OPTIONS

(A) Bacteria
(B) Parasite
(C) Both (a) and (b)
(D) Endogenous enzymes

ANSWER

(D) Endogenous enzymes

EXPLANATION

Food irradiation can effectively reduce bacteria and parasites at appropriate doses, but endogenous food enzymes are comparatively resistant and may remain active unless separately inactivated, for example by heat. Therefore, bacteria and parasites are not the best answer, whereas endogenous enzymes are. Option (D) is correct.
