초록

국내에서 살균, 살충의 목적으로 7kGy의 감마선이 허가된 백삼분말을 대상으로 $0{\sim}15\;kGy$의 전자선을 조사하고 screening을 목적으로 한 PSL측정과 신뢰성이 높은 것으로 여겨지는 TL 측정에 의해 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. PSL을 측정한 결과 비조사구는 threshold value$(T_1)$인 700보다 낮은 값을 나타내면서 negative로 표시되어 방사선 조사되지 않은 것으로, 2.5kGy이상 조사구는 threshold value $(T_2)$인 5000보다 높은 값을 나타내면서 positive로 표시되어 방사선 조사된 것으로 확인되었다. Density separation 추출법을 이용하여 시료로부터 mineral을 분리하여 TL 측정을 실시함으로써 glow curve가 나타나는 온도범위와 glow curve의 형태를 확인하고 TL ratio를 구한 결과, 방사선 조사되지 않은 시료는 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 glow curve가 나타났고 이들의 intensity 또한 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 방사선 조사구는 $200^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 아주 강한 intensity의 glow curve를 보여주었다. 또한, normalization에 의한 TL ratio는 비조사구에서 0.01, 조사구에서 0.78 이상을 나타내어 방사선 조사여부 확인이 가능하였다.

White ginseng powder, permitted to be irradiated in Korea for the purpose of microbial decontamination, was treated with electron beam at doses of $0{\sim}15\;kGy$ for a detection trial whether it is irradiated or not by measuring photostimulated luminescence for whole samples first and then (TL) for the mineral adhering to the samples. PSL values were less than threshold value (700, $T_{1}$) and were negative for nonirradiated samples but more than 5000 $(T_2)$ and were positive for irradiated ones. After PSL measurement mineral was separated from the whole samples using density separation. Mineral of nonirradiated samples was characterized by glow curves which have low intensity and were situated at the high temperature region (about $300^{\circ}C$) by the low level of natural radioactivity. Glow curves of minerals for all irradiated samples were observed at about $200^{\circ}C$. TL ratio by normalization was 0.01 for nonirradiated sample and more than 0.78 for irradiated samples, and it was possible to detect whether white ginseng powders were irradiated or not.
