건마늘과 건양배추에 대하여 감마선 조사(0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 kGy)에 따른 검지특성을 PSL, ESR 및 TL 분석에 의해 확인하였다. PSL 분석결과, 건마늘과 건양배추의 비 조사시료는 287-337 photon counts로 negative값을 나타내었고, 조사시료는 7511-54063 photon counts의 positive값을 나타내어 비 조사시료와 조사시료간의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. ESR 분석 결과, 건마늘의 경우 비 조사시료에서 나타나지 않은 cellulose radical이 고선량(20 kGy)에서 관찰되었고, 건양배추의 경우 조사시료에서 crystalline sugar 유래의 multi- component signal이 관찰되었다. 또한 조사선량이 증가할수록 ESR signal intensity도 유의적으로 증가하였다($R^2$= 0.9369-0.9926). TL 분석 결과, 건마늘과 건양배추 모두 비 조사시료와 조사시료의 glow curve가 나타나는 온도 범위(150-250$^{\circ}C$)와 TL intensity의 차이가 명확하였고, 조사선량의 증가에 따라 TL signal intensity가 증가하였다($R^2$= 0.9670-0.9768). 그리고 TL ratio($TL_1/TL_2$)의 측정결과는 비 조사구는 0.1 이하, 조사구는 0.1 이상의 값을 나타내어 TL 분석결과의 신뢰성을 높여주었다.
The verification of irradiation treatments, using dried garlic and cabbage treated at 0-20 kGy, was investigated by analyzing the photostimulated luminescence (PSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of the samples. The PSL results showed that the photon counts/60 sec of the non-irradiated dried garlic and cabbage were 287-337, corresponding to negative, while those of the irradiated samples were 7511-54063 photon counts/ 60 sec, corresponding to positive, making it possible to discriminate the non-irradiated from the irradiated samples. In ESR analysis, the dried garlic irradiated at 20 kGy exhibited cellulose radicals, whereas the irradiated dried cabbage showed crystalline sugar-induced multi-component signals, which were not found in the non-irradiated samples. The ESR signal intensity significantly increased as the irradiation dose increase ($R^2$= 0.9369 - 0.9926). The TL glow curves of the irradiated samples appeared at a temperature interval of 150-250, which were significantly different from those of non-irradiated samples, showing a significant increase in TL signal intensity with irradiation dose ($R^2$= 0.9670 - 0.9768). To enhance the reliability of the results, the first glow curve ($TL_1$) was compared with the second glow curve ($TL_2$) obtained after a re-irradiation step at 1 kGy. The TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$) was in good agreement with the reported TL threshold values for both the non-irradiated (<0.1) and irradiated (> 0.1) samples.
