Radiation can be used to preserve food by killing microorganisms and insects that cause food spoilage. This can be done using ionizing radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays to disrupt the DNA of these organisms, preventing them from reproducing. The process can extend the shelf life of food by inhibiting bacterial growth and delaying ripening.

Why heat is used to preseve food?
Heat of itself does not spoil food. What spoil the food is the growth of bacteria in the food.At low temperatures (in a fridge) these bacteria only grow slowly but when the food warms up to room temperature the bacteria grow faster and the food will spoil. The reason for this is that for every 10oC rise in temperature the rate of chemical reactions (ie the metabolic rate of the bacteria) doubles. Obviously above a certain temperature (boiling point) the heat is so much that the bacteria are killed off.
