Abstract

Photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermoluminescence(TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses were conducted to detect irradiation treatment of aloe vera powder, which was gamma-irradiated at 1, 3, 5 and 7 kGy. The non-irradiated aloe vera powder indicated below 700 of photon count in PSL, whereas, irradiated at 1 kGy and more, it showed more than 5,000 photon counts, indicating that it is feasible to detect the irradiation of aloe vera powder through PSL In the result of TL, from the minerals of the samples that were irradiated at more than 1 kGy, TL glow curve was able to be seen at around $150^{\circ}C$. As the quantity of irradiation goes up, the ratio of $TL_1\;and\;TL_2$ also increased in proportion to that of irradiation. In the result of ESR analysis, unspecific centeral ESR signal was could be seen. As the amount of irradiation on the samples increased to the level of $R^2=0.97$, the signal intensity also rose similarly. In conclusion, the PSL, TL and ESR exhibited the typical signals induced by irradiation treatment and were able to successfully detect all of the irradiated aloe vera powder. In addition, we found a positive correlation between the intensity of ESR and TL signals and irradiation doses.

알로에 베라(Aloe barbadensis Miller)분말에 대한 방사선 조사 여부를 확인하기 위해 1, 3, 5, 7 kGy로 감마선 조사를 실시하여 PSL, TL 및 ESR 분석을 실시하였다. PSL의 경우 비조사 시료에서는 700이하의 photon count를 나타내었으며, 1 kGy이상 조사된 시료에서는 5000이상의 photon count를 나타내어 PSL을 통한 조사된 알로에 분말의 검지가 가능할 것으로 사료된다. TL분석 결과에서는 1 kGy이상 조사된 시료의 미네랄에서 $150^{\circ}C$ 전후에 TL glow curve $(TL_1)$를 확인할 수 있었고, 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 $TL_1$ 및 TL ratio $(TL_1/TL_2)$모두 증가 경향을 나타내었다. 한편 전자스핀공명 (ESR)분석 결과에서는 triplet형태의 ESR signal은 확인 할 수 없었으나, 조사전량이 증가함에 따라 signal의 크기가 증가하였다. 본 연구결과 PSL, TL 및 ESR분석으로 알로에 베라 분말의 조사여부를 확인할 수 있었으며 특히, IL분석으로는 조사선량의 정량적 예측이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.
