Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy of gamma-irradiated fresh broccoli and kimchi cabbage was conducted to identify their irradiation history. Different pretreatments, such as freeze-drying (FD), oven-drying (OD), alcoholic-drying (ALD), and water-washing and alcoholic-drying (WAD) were used to lower the moisture contents of the samples prior to ESR analysis. The non-irradiated samples exhibited a single central signal ($g_0$=2.0007) with clear effect of $Mn^{2+}$, especially in kimchi cabbage. Upon irradiation, there was an increase in the intensity of the central signal, and two side peaks, mutually spaced at 6 mT, were also observed. These side peaks with $g_1$ (left)=2.023 and $g_2$ (right)=1.985 were attributed to radiation-induced cellulose radicals. Leaf and stem in broccoli, and root and stem in kimchi cabbage provided good ESR signal responses upon irradiation. The signal noise was reduced in case of ALD and WAD pretreatments, particularly due to $Mn^{2+}$ signals. The ALD treatment was found most feasible to detect the improved ESR spectra in the irradiated samples.

섬유소 식품의 조사처리 여부 확인에서 전자스핀공명분석법의 개선을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자, 감마선 조사된 브로콜리와 배추의 전처리 건조방법(FD, OD, ALD, 및 WAD)에 따른 cellulose radical을 분석 비교하였다. 브로콜리 시료에서는 single central signal($g_0$=2.0007)이 나타났으며, 배추 시료에서는 single central signal 외에 $Mn^{2+}$ ion에 의한 sextet signal이 추가로 발견되었다. 조사처리한 채소류에서는 singlet signal을 중심으로 좌우 두 개의 side peak가 나타났으며, 각 side peak의 거리는 5.8-6.1 mT로 조사처리 유래의 cellulose radical임을 확인할 수 있었다. 채소류의 부위별로 ESR spectra를 비교한 결과, 배추는 뿌리와 줄기, 브로콜리는 잎, 줄기 모두 조사처리 여부를 판별하는데 있어 적합하였다. 건조 방법별로는 FD와 OD 처리 시 ESR 강도는 더 높았으나, $Mn^{2+}$ ion과 함께 나타나 명확한 signal을 얻기 어려웠다. 반면, ALD와 WAD 방법의 경우 $Mn^{2+}$ ion이 제거되고, signal ratio도 적합하게 나타나 조사 처리된 채소류의 ESR 판별시, ALD와 WAD 방법이 가장 적합할 것으로 판단되었다.
