Disclosed is an apparatus for radiation processing of fluent food products comprising: a radiation source; a first wall having a convex surface, the first wall being transmissive to radiation energy produced by the radiation source; a second wall having a surface that opposes the convex surface of the first wall so as to form a product flow cavity therebetween; an inlet forming a passageway into the product flow cavity; an outlet forming a passageway out of the product flow cavity; and a sensor means in the product flow cavity for measuring a characteristic of the radiation energy emitted by the radiation source; wherein the first wall is positioned between the radiation source and the product flow cavity so that when the radiation source emits radiation energy, the radiation energy passes through the first wall and into the product flow cavity, and wherein the radiation source is selected from a group consisting of an electron beam source, a gamma ray source, or an x-ray source. Also disclosed is a method of processing fluent food products by radiation, using the above apparatus.
