Joe,
Your message is really difficult to understand.
Do you know, that "TLD" is the abbreviation for "Thermoluminescence
Dosimetry", a method to determine the dose to somebody or something from
gamma-radiation, exposing certain material to radiation. You cannot
detect food irradiation with that method, unless you expose a
TLDosemeter together with the food in order to determine the dose -
well, and then you know, that it was irradiated anyway.
What are "associated methods"? Could you clarify?
Thermoluminescence phenomena can be used to detect irradiation of food
and other material. For various food other methods like
gas-chromatography, viscosity or various biological methods might be
applicable. There is plenty of literature on that.
I recommend that you consult the relevant literature to find out, what
you actually want - your request for "TLD and associated methods" gives
me the impression that you do not know it. Starting the business of
finding irradiated food from scratch needs a "little" more than asking
at RADSAFE whether somebody has "experience with Analysis of Food
Irradiation using TLD and associated methods", not to talk about
becoming an accredited laboratory!
