Abstract

Two kinds of composite seasoning products (beef broth powder, polk bone extract powder) were used for a detection trial of gamma irradiation treatment up to 10 kGy by analyzing photostimulated luminescence (PSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence(TL). PSL results showed that the photon counts of non-irradiated samples were lower than 700, while those of irradiated samples were higher than 5000, which makes it possible to screen irradiated composite seasoning products at 1 kGy or over from the non-irradiated control. ESR signals measured for both irradiated samples were not irradiation-specific, even though they were dose dependent in the signal intensity. Radiation-induced TL glow curves were found in irradiated beef broth powder and furthernmore, TL ratio $(TL_4/TL_2)$ obtained by a re-irradiation step could verify the detection result of TL1 glow curves, showing ratios lower than 0.05 in the non-irradiated sample and higher than 1.00 in irradiated ones.

미생물적 품질개선이 요구되는 복합조미식품 2종(beef broth 분말, pork bone extract 분말)을 대상으로 $0\~10kGy$의 감마선을 조사하고 광자극 발광(PSL), 전자스핀공명(ESR) 및 열발광(TL) 측정에 의한 조사여부검지 가능성을 분석하였다. 조사선량에 따른 PSL photon count를 측정해 본 결과, 비조사 beef broth와 pork bone 분말은 각각 503.0과 429.5의 값을 보여 비조사 시료에서 측정되는 700이하의 값이 확인되었다. 그러나 $1\~10kGy$ 조사시료에서는 모두 5,000 이상의 photon count가 측정되어 이들 복합조미식품은 PSL 분석에 의해 방사선 조사여부를 신속하게 screening할 수 있었다. 또한 조사시료의 ESR 분석에서는 beef broth와 Pork bone 분말에서 signal의 g-value가 2.0065와 2.0067로 각각 측정되었고, 조사선량에 따라 ESR signal intensity가 증가하는 경향으로 beef broth 분말 $R^2=0.9226$, pork bone extract 분말 $R^2=0.9280$의 상관을 보였으나 방사선 유래의 signal은 확인되지 않았다. TL분석 결과 beef broth분말의 경우에서만 $170^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 방사선 조사 유래의 glow curve가 나타났으며, 재조사에 의한 TL ratio $(TL_1/TL_2)$는 비조사군 0.05이하, 1kGy 이상 조사군 1.0 이상으로 방사선 조사 여부의 검지가 가능하였다.
