Abstract

This study was performed to investigate PSL and TL characteristics for the detection of different ratios of gamma-irradiated turmeric. It was possible to determine PSL and TL of 1- and 10-kGy irradiated turmeric. The TL ratios ($TL_1/TL_2$) of non-irradiated samples were lower than 0.001, while those of irradiated samples were higher than 0.355. In the PSL results, blended samples containing irradiated ingredients showed intermediate values for a 1% blending rate. Furthermore, TL analysis of blended samples seems to offer a promising method for irradiation identification by TL glow curve form and temperature range. The 1- and 10-kGy irradiated samples were able to be detected above a 4% blending rate. However, the TL ratio appeared as a threshold value below 0.1 for irradiated samples. Overall, TL analysis identified 4% blended samples containing gamma-irradiated turmeric.

방사선 조사된 터머릭의 혼합비율에 따른 조사여부 확인을 위하여 물리적 방법(PSL, TL)을 이용하여 검지특성을 분석하였다. PSL 분석 결과, 비 조사시료와 조사시료의 PCs값이 명확하게 구분되어 방사선 조사여부를 판별할 수 있었으며, 방사선 조사된 원료를 함유한 혼합시료는 1과 10 kGy 조사시료를 0.7% 이상 혼합하였을 때 intermediate 또는 positive의 결과를 나타내어 TL 확인시험으로 조사여부 확인이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 시료의 TL분석 결과, 방사선 조사되지 않은 시료는 자연방사선에 의해서 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 최고 peak를 가지는 glow curve를 나타낸 반면, 1과 10 kGy 조사구에서는 $150-250^{\circ}C$의 부근에서 특유의 glow curve를 나타내었다. TL ratio의 산출 결과 비 조사시료에서는 0.001보다 작은 값을, 조사시료에서는 0.355보다 높은 값을 나타내어 이미 설정한 TL ratio 기준에 따라 조사여부 확인이 가능하였다. 혼합시료의 TL 특성은 glow curve의 온도범위는 조사시료와 동일하게 나타나지만, glow curve의 형태와 intensity는 다소차이를 보였다. 조사시료를 2% 혼합하였을 때 1 kGy 시료는 비조사구의 glow curve를 나타낸 반면 10 kGy 시료에서는 조사구 특유의 glow curve를 나타냈다. 그리고 4% 이상 혼합하였을 때에는 1과 10 kGy 시료에서 모두 조사구의 glow curve를 나타내었다. 방사선 조사된 혼합시료의 TL ratio는 0.1 이하의 threshold value를 나타내어 방사선 조사된 혼합시료는 TL glow curve 형태와 온도범위로서 방사선 조사 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.
