Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to detect radiation-induced signals from irradiated spices and ESR parameters were analyzed to define specific signals. Four powdered spices (red pepper, garlic, onion, and black pepper) were irradiated with 0, 1, 5, or 10 kGy at room temperature using a [60Co] gamma-ray irradiator prior to ESR analysis. Radiation-induced triplet signals, including those from the cellulose radical, which are center signals ($g_2=2.00673$) within the range of 3.0455 mT, were observed in all irradiated spice samples. The parameters g-value, center field, and signal range of hyperfine triplet ESR signals were constant in all irradiated samples, being specific for cellulose radicals and thereby distinguishing these signals from those of nonirradiated control samples. High positive correlation coefficients ($R^2=0.8452-0.9854$) were obtained between irradiation doses and corresponding ESR signal intensities. Thus, reliable detection of irradiated dried spices by measurement of ESR cellulose signals was confirmed by parameter analysis for the cellulose radical.

ESR spectroscopy에 의한 방사선 조사 건조향신료의 조사여부의 정확한 판별에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 방사선 조사 유래의 cellulose radical에 대한 parameter를 분석하였다. 건조향신료 분말 4종(고추, 마늘, 양파, 후추)에 대하여 0, 1, 5, 10 kGy의 $^{60}Co$ 감마선을 조사한 후 ESR signal을 분석하였다. 방사선 조사된 4종의 건조향신료는 모두 방사선 조사 유래의 triplet signal인 cellulose radical을 나타내면서 center signal($g_2=2.00673$)은 좌우 3.0455 mT 간격의 특이적인 signal을 보였다. 조사시료에서 나타난 hyperfine triplet signal(cellulose radical)의 g-value, center field 및 저-고자장 signal의 간격은 조사선량이 변화하여도 일정하였으므로 이들 parameter들은 cellulose radical의 고유 특성임을 확인 하였다. 이로써 감마선 조사시료와 비조사 시료 간의 구별이 분명하였다. ESR signal intensity는 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다($R^2=0.8452{\sim}0.9854$). 이상의 결과에서 cellulose radical의 parameter 분석은 건조향신료의 ESR 분석에서 조사여부의 판별에 대한 신뢰성을 뒷받침 해 주었다.
