Abstract
We previously reported a food preparation method for gamma spectrometry during radiological emergencies aimed at developing best compromises between degree of homogenization, accuracy, speed, and minimizing laboratory equipment contamination. We now propose an additional method using the protease bromelain that can homogenize meats and composite meals containing both meat and starch in ~ 1 h without high heat or harsh chemicals. Additionally, we show evidence from studies with environmental samples suggesting the potential utility of these homogenization methods for use with atmospherically deposited radionuclides using naturally occurring 7Be as a model.
