Abstract

We have been performed on $Co^{60}$ ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation of South Sea cultured pearls, with the absorbed dose of 0.1~100 kGy at room temperature. In addition, it was investigated electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and amino acid analysis (AAA) for detection of Gamma irradiated South Sea cultured pearls. It was observed that the irradiated South Sea cultured pearls revealed additional free radical peak such as $CO_2^-$, at a g-factor of $2.001{\pm}0.002$ in EPR spectra. From the amino acid analysis (AAA), it was shown that some of amino acid in the protein of the nacre destroyed after ${\gamma}$-ray; glutamic acid residue by 11.43 %, alanine by 3.11 %, and histidine by 43.75 %. It was useful to detect the irradiated South Sea cultured pearls by EPR measurement in our study.

남양진주에 $Co^{60}$을 이용하여 0.1~100 kGy까지 선량의 범위에서 방사선 조사 실험을 행하였다. 더불어 방사선 조사된 남양진주의 검지를 위해 전자상자성공명(EPR)과 아미노산분석(AAA)을 행하였다. EPR 분석에서 방사선 조사후, 방사선 조사전에는 없었던 free radical이 생성되었으며 $CO_2^-$ radical의 g-factor는 $2.001{\pm}0.002$이었다. 진주층의 아미노산 분석 결과 방사선 조사후의 glutamic acid는 11.43 %, alanine은 3.11 %, histidine은 43.75 %의 감소량을 보였으며, 이는 일부 아미노산이 파괴되었음을 보여준다. 본 연구의 결과로 EPR 분석은 방사선 조사된 남양진주의 검지에 적합하였다.
