Abstract

The identification characteristics of irradiated commercial Ramen soup were investigated depending on radiation sources and doses by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Two commercial powder soups (RS-1, RS-2) were irradiated at 0 to 20 kGy under ambient conditions by both a Co-60 gamma irradiator and an electron beam (EB) accelerator, respectively. Crystalline sugar-induced multi-component signals with g-values of 2.010/2.011, 2.006, 2.002 and 1.999 were detected in the irradiated Ramen soup (RS-1, RS-2), whereas $Mn^{2+}$ signals were observed in non-irradiated samples, thereby distinguishing each other. Under the same analytical conditions, the intensity of ESR signals was higher in EB-irradiated samples than the gamma-irradiated ones. Determination coefficients ($R^2$) between irradiation doses and corresponding ESR responses were above 0.9665 in all the samples, and the magnetic field of specified g-value remained constant. The predominant ESR signals of $g_2$ (2.010-2.011) and $g_3$ (2.002) increased with corresponding doses of irradiation ($R^2$= 0.9750-0.9981).

시판 분말 라면수프(RS-1, RS-2)에 대하여 방사선 조사선원(감마선, 전자선, 0-20 kGy)에 따른 ESR 분석특성을 연구한 결과, 수프에 함유된 결정형 당이 방사선 에너지에 의해 free radical을 생성하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 방사선 처리되지 않은 2종의 라면수프에서는 $Mn^{2+}$ radical이 나타났으나, 조사시료의 ESR spectra는 RS-1에서 g = 2.011, 2.006, 2.002 및 1.999, RS-2에서 g = 2.010, 2.006, 2.002 및 1.999의 4개의 peak를 가진 multi-component signal이 각각 확인되어 조사여부의 판별이 가능하였다. 또한 감마선 및 전자선과 조사선량에 따른 ESR intensity를 비교한 결과, 동일 측정조건에서는 모든 선량에서 전자선 조사시료가 감마선 조사시료보다 높은 강도를 나타내었다. 라면수프의 방사선 조사선량과 ESR intensity 간의 R2는 0.9665 이상을 보이면서 각 signal의 intensity는 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 일정한 비율로 증가하였으며, g-value가 나타나는 자장영역은 일정하였다. 이들 중 강도가 큰 $g_2$(2.010-2.011)와 $g_3$(2.002)의 signal 증가는 조사선량과 높은 선형적 상관을 나타내었다($R^2$= 0.9750-0.9981).
