The comparative effects of gamma irradiation an ozone treatment on the microbiological and physicochemical qualities were investigated for the improvement of hygienic quality of aloe powder and bee pollen. Gamma irradiation at 7.5~10kGy could reduce total aerobic bacteria, molds and coliforms below detection levels, but ozone treatment up to 18 ppm for 8hr was not sufficient to eliminate the microorganisms from aloe powder and bee pollen. The physicochemical properties such as fatty acid an amino acid compositions, mineral content, TBA value, barbaloin and pigment contents were not significantly changed by gamma irradiation, whereas ozone treatment caused significant changes in fatty acid composition, lipid oxidation and destruction of barbaloin and natural pigments.

곡류 및 전분류, 채소 및 과일류, 생선, 육류 및 콩류 및 향신류 등의 시료에 대한 감마선 조사에 의한 검지 특성을 물리적 검지 방법인 photostimulated luminescence (PSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) 및 thermoluminescence (TL) 분석을 통하여 검지 가능성을 확인하였다. PSL 분석 결과 곡류 및 전분류 시료군 가운데 옥수수 전분, 소맥분과 채소 과일류 시료군의 미역 등의 시료는 비 조사군(negative, ${\leq}700$)으로 판정되었으며, 생선, 육류 및 콩류 시료군의 흰 강낭콩 추출분말 및 향신료 시료군의 칠리 파우더를 포함한 9종의 시료는 감마선 조사군(positive, ${\geq}5000$)으로 판정되었다(전체 시료의 3.2%). 이외에 39종의 시료군에서는 방사선 조사 가능성이 있는 700~5,000 범위의 photon counts (intermediate)를 나타내었다(전체 시료의 15.6%). 이들 시료에 대한 TL 분석 결과, 칠리 파우더를 비롯한 미네랄이 분리된 5종의 시료에서는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 TL glow curve ($TL_1$)을 나타내어 감마선 조사 여부의 확인이 가능하였다. ESR 분석 결과 2차 검증 시료군에서 방사선 유래 특이적인 signal이 관찰되지 않아서 추출물 시료에는 ESR 분석법의 적용이 불가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Progress in commercialization of the irradiation process, greater international trade in irradiated food, differing regulations relating to use of the technology in many countries, and consumer demand for clear labeling of irradiated food highlighted the need for tests that could be applied to the food itself. Scientists have had to focus on identifying and isolating the minute changes caused in the component food molecules by the process. A number of investigators have reviewed the changes occurring in food after irradiation, detecting and measuring the effects of irradiation. The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture organised a coordinated program on analytical detection methods in irradiation treatment of food (ADMIT) which promoted cooperation in this area and sponsored collaborative testing of some of the most promising methods.

Accumulated photon counts in immediate measurement after irradiation of marjoram, basil and thyme were shown to be below 625$\pm$162, 577$\pm$178 and 1261$\pm$640 Pc, respectively. The accumulated photon counts increased linearly with increasing irradiation doses up to 5 kGy and slightly increased from 5 kGy to 10 kGy. This trend was similar after storage periods. According to storage conditions, the difference of the accumulated photon counts was net clearly observed. The accumulated photon counts of irradiated spice samples decreased with increasing storage periods. The rate of decrease was higher in 5 and 10 kGy irradiated samples than that in 1 kGy, and in room conditions than that in darkroom conditions. The photon counts of the irradiated spice samples measured for 120 s were higher than those measured for 60 s. The irradiated spice samples showed higher photon counts than those of unirradiated samples in both room and darkroom conditions during all the storage periods. These results indicate that detection of irradiation was still possible after 24 weeks, although the PPSL signal of all spice samples decreased with increasing storage times.

The development of detection techniques is needed, in order for regulating authorities to determine whether or not a particular food sample has been irradiated, and label it accordingly so that a consumer's free choice can be exercised. The chemical and physical changes brought about in foods by practical doses of irradiation are very small, and therefore very sensitive methods are required. A number of promising approaches have been developed and evaluated. These include chemical, physical and biological methods ranging from the very simple to highly sophisticated techniques.

This study was carried out to observe changes in several detection factors derived from thermoluminescence (TL) of minerals separated from irradiated Korean perilla and sesame seeds during storage under normal room and darkroom conditions. The TL intensities of the first glow curves increased from 0 to 5 kGy but only slightly increase from 5 to 10 kGy. Maximum TL temperatures of the first glow curves in all irradiated samples were around 20$0^{\circ}C$, ranging from 150 to 25$0^{\circ}C$. Since the control (0 day of storage) glow curve ratios of G3 and G4, calculated from re-irradiated (1 kGy) sample were over 0.5, detection of irradiation was possible. However, because Gl ratios were below 0.1, they were classified as non-irradiated. There was n unique first glow curve shape that could be clearly seen in all irradiated samples, regardless of storage conditions, that was never seen in non-irradiated samples. In all samples, the maximum TL temperatures and shape of the second glow curve was in a lower temperature range than that of the first glow curve. Therefore, detection of irradiated Korean perilla and sesame seeds was possible fur up to 3 months after irradiation, regardless of storage conditions, by examining several TL detection factors; including TL intensity, glow curve ratios maximum TL temperatures, and the shapes of glow curves.

Amylograph를 이용하여 방사선 조사된 검은후추가루의 amylograph characteristics의 변화를 검사하고, 변화된 amylograph characteristics에 의해서 검은후추가루의 검지가 가능한지를 알아보기 위하여 본 실험은 수행되었다. Initial pasting temperatures, maximum viscosity temperatures는 조사선량의 증가에 따른 유의적인 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. Maximum viscosity(P), $93^{\circ}C$ viscosity, $93^{\circ}C$에서 15분 후의 viscosity(H), $45^{\circ}C$ viscosity(C), $45^{\circ}C$에서 30분 후의 viscosity, $45^{\circ}C$에서 60분 후의 viscosity는 조사선량이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보여주었으며, p<0.05의 수준에서 통계적인 유의성이 관찰되었다. 그러나 breakdown(P-H), setback(C-P), 그리고 consistency(C-H)는 조사선량의 증가에 따른 명확한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. breakdown(P-H)이 0.75, setback(C-P)이 0.88, consistency(C-H)가 0.31의 $R^2$ 값을 보인 것을 제외하고는 모든 amylograph characteristics 의 $R^2$ 값은 0.97 이상의 높은 상관성을 보여 주었다. 따라서 amylograph characteristics에 의해서 검은후추가루의 방사선 조사여부 확인이 가능하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of gamma irradiation and different conditions (vacuum packaging, antioxidant and freezing) on the microbiological and sensory characteristics of freeze dried Manila clam porridge (MCP) for immuno-compromised patient food. MCP can be sterilized at 1 kGy to 10 kGy. The initial counts of total aerobic bacteria and yeast molds in the non-irradiated MCP were $2.4{\pm}0.5$ and $1.2{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU\;g^{-1}$, respectively, but gamma irradiation significantly decreased the total aerobic bacteria to below the detection limit ($1{\log}\;CFU\;g^{-1}$) (5 kGy). Moreover, gamma irradiation effectively eliminated yeasts/molds at dose below than 1 kGy. However, gamma irradiation accelerated the increase of lipid oxidation and therefore, decreased the sensory characteristics of MCP as irradiation dose increased. To improve the sensory qualities of gamma irradiated MCP, combination treatment (vacuum packaging, 0.1% vitamin C) were applied. There was no significant difference in the overall acceptance scores between the combined-treatment sample (5.6 points) and the non-irradiated samples (6.0). The results indicate that combination treatment (vacuum packaging, 0.1% vitamin C) may help to maintain the quality of MCP. Therefore, it considered that irradiation of MCP with combined treatment and this is an effective method for the consumption as a special purpose food such as for space travel or immuno-compromised patients.

Since ready-to-use (RTU) products are not fully cooked, the shelf-life of the product is comparably short and the products are easily spoiled when contaminated with food-borne pathogens. Low-dose gamma irradiation of 0.5, 1, or 2 kGy effectively reduced the total aerobic bacterial counts in 2 Korean manufactured RTU products by 1.63 to 2.95 log CFU/g during cold storage. Irradiation at 2 kGy reduced the psychrotrophic bacterial counts in most of the samples to below the limit of detection (< log CFU/g). Irradiation at 0.5 kGy completely eliminated Escherichia coli from the commercial RTU samples.
