摘要

This study optimizes grain size, irradiation conditions, and environmental factors for accurate diffuse reflectance spectrometry (DRS) dosimetry in fructose, glucose, and sucrose. A grain size of 250–500 µm showed minimal reflectance variation. Reflectance spectra confirmed stable dose–response relationships, with unirradiated sugars remaining stable for 350 days. Post-irradiation reflectance decreased by 15% within 65 h but remained consistent afterward. Temperature variations (− 5 to 60 °C) had no significant impact. Dose fractionation and rate changes did not alter responses, confirming DRS reliability. This study supports DRS as a precise dosimetry tool with applications in food safety and radiation processing.
