Abstract

This research was conducted to know application of Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and Thermoluminesce(TL) methods by irradiation dose for leaching tea, sauces and starch approved in Korea. Leaching tea, sauces and starch powder were treated with $^{60}Co$ gamma ray at dose 0~10 kGy for detection trial whether they are irradiated or not by measuring PSL and TL for whole samples. PSL values were less than threshold value 700 and were, negative for non-irradiated samples but more than 5,000 and were positive for irradiated ones. PSL results of leaching tea and sauces showed the correct identification for non-irradiated and irradiated samples, respectively except starch samples. To enhance the reliability of the TL result, the first glow curve (TL1) was compared with the second glove curve (TL2) obtained after a re-irradiation step at 1 kGy. The TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$) was in good agreement with the reported TL threshold for both the non-irradiated (< 0.1) and irradiated (> 0.1) samples. TL results of leaching tea, sauces, starch showed the correct identification for non-irradiated and irradiated samples, respectively. This study was performed to know application of PSL and TL methods for leaching tea, sauces and starch, and the methods were able to detect the irradiation products.

침출차와 소스류, 전분류의 각 품목에 대하여 PSL과 TL의 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 각 품목별로 다른 선량으로 방사선 조사를 실시하여 PSL과 TL 분석을 하였다. 침출차 2종은 0, 2, 7kGy, 소스류 2종은 0, 5, 7, 10 kGy, 전분류 3종은 0, 2, 5 kGy로 조사를 실시하였다. PSL의 분석 결과, 침출차는 비조사구에서는 threshold value $T_1$(700) 이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었고 2kGy 이상의 조사구에서는 $T_2$(5000) 이상의 높은 값을 나타내어 방사선 조사 여부 확인이 가능하였다. 이에 비해 소스류는 비조사구에서는 $T_1$ 이하의 값이 나타났지만, 5kGy 이상의 조사구에서 1173, 1773의 $T_1$보다 높고 $T_2$보다 낮은 photon count를 나타내어 중간시료로 나타났다. 또한 전분류에서는 비조사구에서 $T_1$보다 높고 $T_2$보다 낮은 중간값을 나타내어 TL 확인 시험을 필요로 하였다. TL 분석에서는 3가지 품목 모두 비조사구에서는 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 최고의 peak를 가지는 glow curve를 나타내거나 특정적인 TL glow curve를 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 조사구에서는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 비조사구에서 보이지 않았던 특유의 glow curve를 나타내었고, 조사선량에 따른 intensity의 차이도 보이고 있었다 한편 TL 결과를 검증하기 위하여 재조사에 의한 TL ratio를 산출한 결과 비조사구에서는 0.08 이하를 나타내었으나, 각 선량별 조사구에서는 전분류의 경우 0.07 이상의 낮은 값을 나타내기도 하였으나 TL온도범 위와 glow curve의 형태에 따라서 방사선 조사된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 PSL과 TL 분석법의 적용 가능성이 확인되었다.
