This study was conducted in order to investigate the reduction activity of red ginseng extract (RGE; Panax ginseng, C. A. Meyer) on hydroxyl radical (·OH) using an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer and spin-trapping techniques. ·OH generated by a Fenton Reaction System was trapped by 5, 5-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-N oxide (DMPO). The decay rate showed approximately pseudo-firs order kinetics over the period of measurement (by 10 min), and the half lifetime of the DMPO/·OH signal was estimated as approximately 8.15 min. However, the half lifetime of RGE/·OH was estimated as approximately 7.5 min, and the half lifetime of RGE was higher than that of DMPO/·OH adduct only. The order of reduction activities was ascorbic acid > N, Nʹ-dimethylthiourea (DMTU) > RGE > trolox > mannitol in the Fenton Reaction System. Thus, these observations indicate that RGE reaction with ·OH has relative reduction activity. The second-order rate constant of RGE/·OH may be 3.5~4.5 × 109 M-¹ ∙ S-¹.

미생물적 품질개선이 요구되는 복합조미식품 2종(beef broth 분말, pork bone extract 분말)을 대상으로 의 감마선을 조사하고 광자극 발광(PSL), 전자스핀공명(ESR) 및 열발광(TL) 측정에 의한 조사여부검지 가능성을 분석하였다. 조사선량에 따른 PSL photon count를 측정해 본 결과, 비조사 beef broth와 pork bone 분말은 각각 503.0과 429.5의 값을 보여 비조사 시료에서 측정되는 700이하

건조 채소류 중 건조 양파 및 마늘에 대하여 감마선 조사(1,4,7kGy)에 따른 검지특성을 photostimulated luminescence(PSL), thermoluminescence(TL) 및 electron spin resonance (ESR)분석에 의해 확인하였다. PSL분석 결과, 건조 양파 시료는 설정된 negative 및 Positive 기준에 맞게 비조사군과 조사군의 차이를 쉽게 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 건조 마늘의 경우 1
