Climate change, burgeoning populations, infectious diseases, globalization, and food security threats can strain food supplies and result in global unrest and strife. Electron beam (eBeam) technology is a food irradiation technology with unique features. It is currently used for a myriad of applications including food processing. However, there is a need for the creative combination of eBeam technology with other complementary food processing technologies to further its applications and change current food processing paradigms. This introductory chapter focuses on eBeam pasteurization and complementary food processing technologies.
