This study investigated the effect of electron beam (EB) treatment on the microbial reduction of dried laver (Porphyra tenera) and identified EB-resistant bacteria from the treated dried laver. After EB treatments of 4 kGy and 7 kGy, the numbers of total bacteria and EB-resistant bacteria were measured using tryptic soy agar and mannitol salt agar, respectively. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of each isolated EB-resistant bacteria were investigated and these bacteria were identified. Compared to the control (1.5±0.2)×106 CFU/g, the total bacterial number was significantly decreased to (5.4±0.5)×104 CFU/g and (1.1±0.6)×104 CFU/g after EB treatments of 4 kGy and 7 kGy, respectively. With a higher EB dosage, the number of red colonies was almost same, whereas the number of yellow colonies was significantly decreased to (3.3±1.2)×103 CFU/g and 0 CFU/g for 4 kGy and 7 kGy, respectively. All red and yellow colonies were gram-positive cocci, catalase-positive, and resistant to 3% and 5% NaCl media. From the 16S rDNA sequence analysis, yellow and red colonies were identified as either Micrococcus flavus or M. luteus, with 99% similarity for the yellow colonies, and Deinococcus proteolyticus and D. piscis, with 99% and 97% similarity for the red colonies, respectively.

집속이온빔(FIB, focused ion beam)법은 광물 및 지질시료의 분석 대상 위치로부터 투과전자현 미경(TEM, transmission electron microscope) 관찰을 위한 박편을 정밀하게 제작할 수 있는 방법으로 널리 보급되고 있다. 그러나 박편 제작과정에서 Ga 이온빔에 의한 구조 손상이나 인위적 효과들이 발 생하여 전자빔에 의한 손상과 함께 TEM 분석에서의 난점들 중 하나이다. 광물 시료 FIB 박편의 TEM 관찰에서 석영과 장석의 비정질화, 커튼 효과, Ga 오염 등이 확인되었으며, 특히 입자 경계 부근 이나 두께가 얇은 곳에서 이들 현상이 보다 뚜렷하다. 박편 제작 시의 가속전압 및 전류 조정 등의 분 석절차 개선으로 이온빔 손상을 줄일 수 있으나, 어느 정도의 손상이나 오염은 피할 수 없으므로 TEM 박편 관찰과 해석에서 유의하여야 한다.

The DREs of NF3 and SF6 gases increased about 54% and 68% respectively with hydrogen injection. By-products formed by NF3 and SF6 destruction were mainly HF and F2 gases. In addition, the particles were generated during the NF3 and SF6 destruction due to corrosion of reactor and SF6 decomposion, respectively.

식품의 방사선 조사는 식품 저장을 위한 성공적인 현대기술의 하나이지만 매우 신중하게 이루어져야 한다. 조사된 식품의 확인은 국제무역에서 소비자의 안전한 선택과 보호를 위해 가장 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 건조된 오징어와 문어에 전자선을 조사하여 선량별로 유도 생성되는 hydrocarbon류의 함량 및 분해패턴을 확인하였다. 비조사 시료와 선량별로 전자선 조사된 시료에서 지방을 추출한 뒤 solid phase extraction(SPE)방법을 이용하여 GC/MS로 확인하였다. 1, 3, 5, 7 및 10 kGy의 선량으로 전자선 조사된 건조 오징어와 문어에서 유도된 hydrocarbon류는 동일 선량에서 시료들의 지방산 조성에 따른 다른 생성률을 나타내었으며, 조사선량에 따라 증가하였다. 시료들에 다량 함유되어 있는 palmitic acid와 stearic acid로부터 생성된 1-tetradecene(C14:1), pentadecane(C15:0), 그리고 1-hexadecene(C16:1), heptadecane(C17:0)이 전자선 조사에 의해 유도된 주요 hydrocarbon류로 확인되었으며, 건오징어에서 hydrocarbon류 생성량이 건문어의 hydrocarbon류 생성량 보다 더 많음을 확인하였다. 이는 시료의 지방산 함유량에 따라 hydrocarbon류 생성량이 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 전자선 조사된 건오징어와 건문어에서 분석된 hydrocarbon류 중 1-tetradecene(C14:1), 1-hexadecene(C16:1) 그리고 heptadecane(C17:0)은 전자선 조사여부를 판별할 수 있는 지표로 활용될 수 있을 거라 사료된다.

The effect of sewage sludge irradiation and addition of starfish as a dewatering agent on the efficiency of composting was investigated using saw dust as a bulking agent. Results indicates that the temperature of EB sludge cake (electron beam irradiated sludge cake) and EB-SF sludge cake (electron beam irradiated sludge cake mixed with star fish powder) composting piles rose up to 62 ~ 66oC within 1 day and maintained high temperature of 52 ~ 55oC for more than 3 days, which was much higher than that of the control. The electron beam irradiation and addition of star fish accelerate the composting. The control sludge cake composting pile needed 35 days to reach the criteria of mature rate for composting, (Final C/N ratio)/(Initial C/N ratio) of 0.75, while EB-SF sludge cake composting plie required 11 days. This means that maturing compost could be highly improved by irradiating sludge cake or by adding star fish powder. The pH of the composting pile of sludge cake with addition of waste star fish powder rose 1 pH unit higher than that of the control during the entire operation, showing that the star fish has a good buffering capacity. The pH of the final matured compost was above pH 7, satisfying the standard of soil conditioner. The G.I. values of Chinese cabbage and lettuce with composts from EB sludge cake and EB-SF sludge cake composting pile ranged 88 ~ 99, satisfying a safety level (G.I. 80) in plant growth. After 60 days operation for composting 4 different types of sludge cakes, each compost was able to meet the Ministry of Agriculture's Standards of Compost.

기내배양한 양란 심비디움 원괴체에 전자빔(2 MeV/n, 0.5 mA)을 10 Gy～300 Gy로 조사하여 생장 변화와 유전적 변이의 다양성을 검토하였다. 전자빔을 조사 후 배양 10주째에 선량의 증가에 따라 원괴체로부터 신초유도가 감소하였고, 200 Gy 이상의 선량을 조사한 처리구에서는 신초분화가 크게 억제되었다. 원괴체 18개체를 ISSR 분석한 결과 대조구는 12.5% 다형성을 나타내었고, 전자빔 조사구에서는 42.2%의 다형성을 나타내었다. RAPD 분석한 결과 대조구에서 13%의 다형성을 나타내었고, 전자빔 조사구에서는 43.8%의 다형성을 나타내었다. 따라서 RAPD 및 ISSR 분석 모두에서 전자빔 조사시 대조구보다 3.5배 정도 다형성이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 유전적 유사도 지수(GSM)는 전자빔 처리가 대조구보다 낮게 나타나 전자빔 처리에 의하여 개체들 간의 유전적 다양성이 높아진 것으로 보인다. 군집분석 결과 RAPD와 ISSR 분석 모두 대조구와 전자빔 처리구가 분리되어 그룹을 이루었다. 이와 같이 전자빔 조사로 기내 배양 양란 심비디움의 유전적 다형성이 증대됨을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changes in the quality of rice wine (Makgeolli) treated with UV-C and electron beam (EB) irradiation during its storage at 4℃ for 15 days. The EB irradiation was found to be more effective than the UV-C irradiation for microbiological control. The pH tended to be increased by UV-C, EB irradiation, and storage period. Acidity was significantly higher in rice wine treated with EB irradiation than those of control and UV-C irradiation during storage period. The L*-value of the samples treated with UV-C and EB irradiation tended to be proportionately higher than that of the control, but this was not consistent during storage period. The a*-value of the sample treated with EB was higher than that of the others, but this was not consistent during the storage period. The reducing sugar content was higher in the control at day 0, but it rapidly decreased compared with the control during the storage. The results indicate that EB irradiation was more effective than UV-C irradiation in controlling microorganisms of rice wine. However, a further study is needed to minimize the rice wine quality deterioration caused by UV-C or EB irradiation during storage.

The changes in the volatile organic compounds in plum after its electron beam irradiation and storage were determined using the simultaneous distillation extraction method and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. There were 44, 46, 45, 47, and 38 volatile compounds in the 0-, 0.25-, 0.5-, 0.75-, and 1 kGy irradiated samples, respectively. Also, the volatile flavor components of the plum that was stored for 30 days were identified as 48, 40, 40, 39, and 40 components. The compositions of the volatile compounds of the control and irradiated samples showed a similarity after the storage. Especially, the more important volatile flavor of the plum was identified as hexanal of the C6compounds, (E)-2-hexenal and (Z)-3-hexenal. In particular, hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol increased in all the doses, where as hexanol and (E)-2-hexen-1-ol decreased. Among the lactone compounds, γ -hexalactone, γ-octalactone, and γ-decalactone were identified during the storage period in the raw samples. Hexanonic acid and 2-hexenoic acid were not identified during the storage of the samples, and 2-methylprrole was detected only when the storage samples were irradiated at a dose higher than 0.5kGy. Therefore, it was shown that there was no effect on the variation of the volatile organic component suntil 1 kGy in the plum was irradiated with an electron beam.
