Resumo
The article discusses the application of food irradiation as a solution for food
preservation and safety in naval settings, focusing on the missions of the Brazilian Navy's
submarines. Food irradiation, recognized in 37 countries, effectively eliminates parasites,
fungi, and bacteria, extending the shelf life of foods without compromising their
nutritional and sensory qualities. The research used an electronic questionnaire to assess
the knowledge and acceptance of food irradiation among military and civilian personnel
of the Navy. Results indicate that before receiving information, 54% of participants were
unaware of the technology, and 28% had a negative view of nuclear energy. After
exposure to informative materials, 82% of participants expressed willingness to consume
irradiated foods, up from 54% previously. The study highlights the importance of
education and scientific dissemination for the acceptance of the technology and suggests
expanding the study to a larger sample within the Navy. The findings suggest the potential
use of food irradiation in Navy ships and submarines, contributing to the health and wellbeing of crew members.
