Rape (Brassica napus L.) plants are one of the major oilseed crops. The main components of rapeseed are oil (35 to 47%) and protein (15 to 32%). For the biodiesel production, the development of a new variety of rape plant with high biomass and/or oleic acid contents is required. In order to determine the optimum dose of gamma-ray irradiation, the rape seeds of cvs. Hanra (Hr), Youngsan (Ys), Tammi (Tm), and Tamra (Tr) were irradiated with a 100~4,000 Gy dose range of gamma-rays. Considering the growth factors, the optimum doses were determined to be within the range of 600~1,000 Gy for the selection of useful mutant lines. Six-hundred and eighty-eight (688) $M_2$ mutant lines were obtained from 600~1,000 Gy gamma-ray-irradiated $M_1$ plants through selfing. The growth characteristics, leaf shape, early flowering, and flower color were all investigated. The selected mutant numbers of early flowering, leaf shape, and flower color were 34, 52, and 3 from the four cultivars, respectively. These mutant lines will be used for the development of a new variety of rape plant with high biomass and oleic acid contents.

Typical radiation cross-linked hydrogels has the characteristic that high water content, but low emission efficiency of active ingredients. Therefore, the hydrogel was prepared by the addition to collagen, which is closely related to the formation of skin wrinkles in biocompatibility and highly water-soluble carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMC) in order to preparation of hydrogels has excellent emission efficiency of active ingredients. Hydrogels were prepared by dissolving CMC and collagen each of 0.5%, 10% concentration in deionized water. Then, prepared hydrogels are performed by gamma-radiation at 1, 3, 5 kGy irradiation dose. The results showed that the gel fraction of after irradiated 3 kGy hydrogel was higher than before irradiated gelation as long as the 55.3%. The swelling rate of irradiated 3 kGy hydrogel was lower than the non-irradiated sample. The compressive strength of 3 kGy irradiated hydrogel was the highest. The visco-elastic did not show any significant differences, even after irradiation. The CMC hydrogel in this study suggested a potential use as a material for the mask pack for improved emission efficiency of the active ingredient and anti-wrinkles.

In this study, we developed ionic permselective membrane as a core material of redox flow battery using radiation grafting method. Two ionic permselective membranes, ETFE-g-PSSA and ETFE-g-PVBSA were prepared by radiation grafting with styrene and VBC followed by sulfonation, respectively. We confirmed that the prepared membranes were successfully prepared via FT-IR. The prepared ionic permselcetive membranes were characterized and the performance of the membranes were evaluated as ionic permselective membranes for vanadium redox flow battery.

Hydrogels from a mixture of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and microorganism fermentation celluose were prepared by $^{60}Co$ gamma-ray irradiation. PVP and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan were mixed with the different ratios. Microorganism fermentation celluose were added to the mixture of PVP and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan to evaluate the effect of microorganism fermentation celluose on the gel strength. The gel strength of the hydrogel was evaluated for application of a wound dressing. The results showed that gelation and gel strength were increased with increasing the content of the microorganism fermentation celluose.

Pulps were separated from wood chips using an Electron beam irradiation (EBI) treatment without a NaOH-AQ (anthraquinone) treatment for cooking. The methods were based on a hot water treatment after EBI and two-step bleaching processes. Chemical compositions and FT-IR spectroscopy demonstrated that the content of lignin and hemicellulose in the bleached wood pulps treated with various EBI dose decreased with an increase of EBI doses. Specifically, the lignin in the bleached with pulps treated at 600 kGy of EBI dose was almost completely removed. Moreover, TGA analysis showed that a thermal stability increased with increasing the content of cellulose but the lignin decomposed slowly over the wide region.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal dose of gamma-ray on the growth and nucleus DNA damage for mutation breeding in licorice. Gamma-rays irradiated to dry seeds with various doses (0 to 1000 Gy). Significant decreases in germination rate (%), survival rate (%) and growth characteristics (plant height, number of leaves, root length and fresh weight) were observed by dose of increased. $LD_{50}$ (lethal dose) was approximately 400 Gy to 500 Gy. Also, reduction doses ($RD_{50}$) of plant height, number of leaves, root length and flash weight were 428 Gy, 760 Gy, 363 Gy and 334 Gy, respectively. It is supplest that the optimal dose of gamma irradiation for licorice mutation induction might be about 400 Gy in this study. We also conducted comet assay to observe nucleus DNA damage due to gamma irradiation. In comet assay, a clear difference was identified over 300 Gy treatments. With increasing doses of gamma-ray in the range of 100 to 1000 Gy, the rate of head DNA was decreased significantly from 92.88% to 73.09%. Tail length(${\mu}m$) was increased as the dose of increased over 300 Gy. Growth characteristics (Germination rate, Survival rate, plant height, number of leaves, root length and fresh weight) were highly negatively ($P{\leq}0.01$) correlated with dose. While the tail length was highly positively ($P{\leq}0.01$) correlated with dose.

Electron beam technology has recently attracted attention as one of the powerful air pollution control methods. In this study, methyl mercaptan decomposition by electron beam in a continuous gas flow system was studied. To this, the effect of gas flowrate, which is one of important operating variables in the continuous gas flow electron beam process, on methyl mercaptan treatment efficiency was studied. In particular, the treatment efficiency and the reaction kinetics of methyl mercaptan decomposition were compared when calculated based on the absorbed dose and when calculated based on the current intensity of electron beam. When based on the electron beam absorbed dose, the treatment efficiency and 1st-order reaction constant increased as the gas flowrate was increased, contrary to the trends in general chemical reactions. However, when based on the current intensity, the treatment efficiency and 1st-order reaction constant increased as the gas flowrate was decreased, which can be theoretically explained. This is due to the fact that the current intensity increased as the gas flowrate was increased, resulting in improved the electron beam treatment efficiency. In conclusion, it is necessary to consider not only the absorbed dose but also the current intensity of electron beam in order to explain the results of reaction efficiencies and kinetics in the continuous flow electron beam gas treatment process.

Although seafood cooking drips were the byproducts from the fishery industry it was known that the cooking drips had many nutrients and could be used as functional materials. Previously, the physiological properties of cooking drips were shown to be increased by a gamma irradiation. But, there was no report on the safe for the genotoxicity on the irradiation. In this study, the genotoxicity of the cooking drips from Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleni and Thunnus thynnus was evaluated by the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay) and the SOS chromotest. The results from all samples were negative in the bacterial reversion assay with S. typhimurium TA98, TA100. No mutagenicity was detected in the assay, both with and without metabolic activation. The SOS chromotest also indicated that the gamma-irradiated seafood cooking drips did not show any mutagenicity. Therefore, this study indicated that gamma irradiation could be used for the hygiene, functional properties and processibility of seafood cooking drips.
