The properties of pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) were measured to use as basis data for the detection of irradiated foodstuffs (34 different foods). Samples were packed in polyethylene bags and irradiated at 1, 5, and 10 kGy with a dose rate of 10 kGy/h. The samples irradiated were introduced in the sample chamber without other preparation and measured PPSL photon counts for 60 and 120 s. The PPSL photo counts of the irradiated samples were higher than the unirradiated, increased with increasing irradiation dose, and showed a good relationship between irradiation doses and photon counts in a multinomial expression. These results suggest that the detection of irradiated foodstuffs was possible by PPSL. Therefore, PPSL can be proposed as the method for the detection of irradiated foodstuffs.
