Abstract: The food contamination caused by bacteria fungi toxin and viruses was reviewed.The technical features of preventingfood from microbe contamination by means of radiation technique were discussed. The preservation effects of dehydratedvegetables,meat products,health food and food additives were studied.The commercial application of radiation preservation infour types of food was accomplished.It was proved by practice of study and commercial application of preservation ofdehydrated vegetables,meat products,health food and food additives in Henan Province that irradiation is a effective techniqueof preventing food from microbe contamination which can ensure food safety effectively.

Key words: microbe contamination, food safety, radiation technique
