Abstract

This study is carried out to sanitize rape (Brassica napus) pollen by gamma irradiation. Rape pollens were treated with 0, 5, 10 and 15 kGy gamma irradiations, and then analyzed for the following: general composition, microbial population, reducing sugar, Hunter color values, TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) values, and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen). Mold and coliform bacteria were not detected in the samples irradiated at 5 kGy or more. Yeasts and total aerobic bacteria were not detected in the samples irradiated at 10 kGy or more (<$10^2$ CFU/g). Moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, reducing sugar and the contents of volatile basic nitrogen in the irradiated pollen did not show any significant changes by irradiation. Hunter color values, $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were decreased with increment of irradiation dose. TBARS values were increased with an increment of irradiation dose. In conclusion, gamma irradiation at 5 kGy was considered to be an effective treatment to control for mycotoxin producing fungi in rape pollen to minimize changes of general composition and physicochemical properties. Further studies should be investigated to reduce the detrimental effects induced by irradiation.

유채화분에 대한 일반성분 및 이화학적 변화를 최소화 시키면서 효과적으로 미생물을 제어할 수 있는 감마선 조사의 적정 선량을 확인하고자 유채화분에 0 kGy, 5 kGy, 10 kGy, 15 kGy로 감마선 조사를 실시하였다. 품질 특성 및 미생물 실험결과 조사선량에 따른 차이는 나타내었지만 전체적인 유채화분의 일반성분에 큰 차이는 없었으며 미생물의 경우 곰팡이 및 대장균군은 5 kGy 조사로 총균 및 효모는 10 kGy 조사로 검출되지 않았다(<$10^2$ CFU/g). 환원당 함량은 조사선량 증가에 따른 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 명도, 적색도, 황색도는 조사선량이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 지질산화는 조사선량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타낸 반면 휘발성 염기태 질소의 함량은 감마선 조사에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 감마선 조사에 대한 일반성분 및 이화학적 변화를 최소화하면서 화분에서 독소를 생성하는 곰팡이를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 감마선 조사선량은 5 kGy인 것으로 사료된다.
