중첩에너지(FGFE)가 방사선조사식품의 판별 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자, 밀과 대두를 시료로 0-5 kGy의 감마선을 조사한 다음 FGFE 처리된 시료의 발광특성(광자극발광, 열발광)과 발아율의 변화를 처리직후와 6개월 저장 후 비교하였다. 조사식품의 스크리닝 방법으로서 두 시료에 대한 광자극발광(PSL) 분석 결과, 비 조사 시료(0 kGy)는 모두 700 photon counts/min 이하의 음성(negative)을 나타내었고, 1 k
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in identification markers of irradiated foods after treatment of the full-overlapped gravitational field energy (FGFE). Wheat and soybean samples were irradiated at 0-5 kGy of Co-60 gamma energy, and analyzed for photostimulated and thermo luminescence characteristics (PSL and TL) and sprouting rate at 0 and 6th month after FGFE treatment. As a screening method for irradiated samples, PSL photon counts (PCs) for the non-irradiated samples appeared negative (5,000 PCs). But FGFE-treated irradiated samples appeared intermediate (700-5,000 PCs), showing decreased PCs during storage. The TL analysis on irradiated samples exhibited glow curve peaks in range of and TL ratio () was also >0.1. Therefore, identification of irradiated samples was possible using thermoluminescence. But the glow curve range of FGFE-treated irradiated samples shifted from to and TL intensity was decreased 37-60% resulting from FGFE treatment. After 6 months of storage, all the samples showed a decrease in TL intensity, but identification was still possible. The sprouting rate of irradiated samples decreased by about 72%, whereas that of FGFE-treated irradiated samples showed by about 85%, as compared to non-irradiated samples. More detailed study is required to investigate sprouting phenomena for FGFE-treated samples.
