Abstract

In the present work, the results of the study of activity in several foods are shown. The following items were investigated: 1 - beans (red), 2 - mash, 3 - beans (white), 4 - peas, 5 - barberry, 6 - peanuts, 7 - beet, 8 - potatoes, 9 - wheat, 10 - carrots, 11 - salt (white), 12 - salt (dark). The studied samples (in fresh condition) were packed in 1-litre Marinelli vessels. The masses of the samples were in the range of 330-1050 gr/litre. The measurements were carried out on spectrometer with Ge(Li) detector (V=100 cm3, Δ=6,2 keV at Eγ=1332 keV). The calibration of detectors by the effectiveness of registration was done using 40K and 226Ra sources from OMACT set with the filling density of ρ = 250–1640 g/litre. he time of each measurement was 6 hrs.
