Abstract

Brown rice of Korea and China was irradiated at doses ranging from 0 to 15 kGy to verify the identification properties of viscosity measurement by determining the relationship between starch content and specific parameters. The starch contents of brown rice were 71.52 and 64.58% for rice of Korea and China, respectively. Additionally, a higher starch content was associated with a higher viscosity. The viscosity and the corresponding specific parameters decreased significantly as the irradiation dose increased, and these changes were influenced by the spindle speed (50, 150, 300 rpm), with a higher effect being observed at lower speeds. The determination coefficients ($R^2$) describing the relationship between irradiation dose and viscosity values ranged from 0.9423 to 0.9567 in Korean samples and from 0.9119 to 0.9387 in Chinese samples. The viscosity and the corresponding specific parameters enabled identification of the non-irradiated and irradiated brown rice from 30 unknown samples with an accuracy of 90%. Based on these findings, the viscosity and specific parameters can be applied as an additional tool for screening of irradiated brown rice.

국산 및 중국산 현미를 대상으로 방사선 조사여부 판별방법의 하나인 점도측정법 검증을 위하여 0-15 kGy 범위의 감마선을 조사하고 점도, 전분함량 및 specific parameter 측정에 의한 미지시료의 조사여부 판별을 시도하였다. 현미의 전분함량은 국산과 중국산 각각 71.52와 64.58%이었고, 국산 현미가 중국산 보다 상대적으로 높은 점도를 나타내었다. 방사선 조사된 국산 및 중국산 현미의 조사선량에 따른 점도 및 specific parameter는 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 전단속도(50, 150, 300 rpm)에 영향을 받아 낮은 속도에서 조사선량의 영향이 크게 나타났다. 점도와 specific parameter의 변화에 대한 조사선량의 상관성을 나타낸 결정계수($R^2$)는 국산 현미는 0.9423-0.9567, 중국산 현미는 0.9119-0.9387을 보였다. 또한 상기 점도측정법에 의한 미지시료(n=30)의 조사여부 판별시험에서는 90%의 정확도를 보였다. 이로써 전분질 식품의 방사선 조사여부 확인에서 점도측정법은 screening 방법의 하나로써 보조적 역할의 가능성을 보여주었다.
