Because of the development of radiation processing of food and agricultural products it requires new methods of control over the processing and turnover of products. A promising method for monitoring is EPR spectrometry. This research presents the results of a study of the radiation induced EPR signal in eggshells. The URT-0.5 (0.5 MeV) and UALR-10-10 S2 (10 MeV) accelerators were used for irradiation. It shows the kinetics of radicals over time. The dependences of the EPR signal intensity on the absorbed dose were obtained, and a comparative analysis of the irradiation of chicken eggs with different energies was performed. The kinetics of radicals over time and the dependence of the intensity of the EPR signal on the absorbed dose are shown. A comparative analysis of the irradiation of chicken eggs with different energies is carried out.
