Abstract

Study was carried out with electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to identify irradiated Korean medicinal herbs. Pueraria thunbergiana Benth., Angelica gigas Nakai, Agaricus blazei Murill and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge were irradiated with doses of 0, 1, 5 and 10 kGy at room temperature using a Co-60 irradiator. The irradiated Korean medicinal herbs exhibited an asymmetric absorption, which was different from the non-irradiated ones. The strength of ESR signals linearly increased by dose-dependent manner (1~10 kGy) and highly positive correlation coefficients ($R^2$=0.9428~0.9942) were obtained between the irradiation doses and the corresponding ESR signal intensities. Detection of the irradiated Korean medicinal herbs was possible even after 6 weeks of storage although the signal intensities of the irradiated samples decreased until 2 weeks at room temperature.

ESR spectroscopy를 이용하여 한약재의 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. 국내산 한약재 4종으로 칡, 당귀, 아가리쿠스, 황기를 0, 1, 5 및 10 kGy의 Co-60 감마선을 조사한 후, 이를 시료로 Bruker-EPR spectrometer를 이용하여 조사로 생성된 라디칼을 측정하였다. 실험결과 조사직후 감마선 조사된 한약재 4종은 ESR 특성 신호를 나타내어 비조사시료와 확실하게 구별할 수 있었다. 적용선량의 범위에서(1~10 kGy) 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 ESR 신호 크기는 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 선량의 증가에 따른 신호 크기의 증가를 나타낸 $R^2$값은 0.9428~0.9942의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또, 이들 신호는 상온에서 2주까지는 감소하였으나 저장기간 후에도 관찰할 수 있었으므로 ESR spectroscopy를 이용한 한약재의 방사선 조사여부 판별은 6주간의 저장 후에도 측정 가능한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.
