Abstract
This study was carried out to find the effect of ${\gamma}$ -irradiation on the physical properties of alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan solution. Alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan aqueous solution were irradiated with $Co^{60}$ ${\gamma}$ -rays in dosages ranging from 3 to 100 kGy, and then the molecular weight, viscosity and color were measured. The molecular weight of alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan solution were decreased as the ${\gamma}$ -irradiation dosage increased. In addition, the viscosity of irradiated alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan solution were decreased depending upon the ${\gamma}$ -irradiation dosage, too. The high dosage irradiated alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan solution's color were changed to yellow. These results suggest that low dosage of ${\gamma}$ -irradiation from 3 to 20 kGy is a very effective method for producing low-molecular alginic acid and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan.
