감마선 조사된 실크 펩타이드의 전자공여능은 감마선 조사선량이 증가할수록 증가되었으며 IC50은 비조사구에 비해 50${\sim}$70%로 감소되었다. 또한, 실크 펩타이드가 첨가된 햄버거 패티를 감마선 조사하여 측정한 결과 감마선 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 지방 산패도가 증가하였지만 실크 펩타이드 첨가구가 무첨가구에 비해 지방산화가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 실크 펩타이드의 첨가가 가열 및 감마선 조사에 의해 발생될 수 있는 햄버거 패티의 지질 산패를 억제시켜 TBA값이 낮아짐을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the biological activities of gamma-irradiated Teucrium veronicoides. In photostimulated luminescence analysis, non-irradiated sample showed lower than 700 photon counts (PCs), whereas irradiated (5 and 10 kGy) samples showed higher than 700 PCs. The thermoluminescence ratio of non-irradiated samples was less than 0.1, whereas the values of irradiated samples were greater than 0.1. Electron spin resonance analysis was performed confirmed for irradiation identification. The total phenolic contents of hot-water and 50% ethanol extracts were higher than those values after irradiation at 10 kGy. Regarding 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical inhibitory activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity, antioxidant protection factor, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance inhibitory activity as antioxidant test and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, the effect of gamma irradiation had on significant effects. On the other hand, ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitory activity of 10 kGy-irradiated hot-water extract was 23.6% higher than that of the non-irradiated sample. Thus, gamma irradiation could be used for the long-term storage of Teucrium veronicoides.

To study the shortening of rigor mortis and changes in the morphological properties of gamma-irradiated pre-rigor bovine muscle (M). Sternomandibularis during post mortem, this experiment was performed with a test of shear force and the observation of the ultrastucture of raw muscle. The time elapsed until maximum shear force values was shortened by gamma irradiation, depending upon the dose. The release of rigor mortis started earlier than control (non-irradiated muscle). A shortening of the length of the Z-line and the maintenance of the sarcomere length by gamma irradiation was observed. The breakdown of the perimysium of muscle bundles was observed more in irradiated samples than in the control. In conclusion, it is considered that gamma irradiation on pre-rigor beef shortens aging-period, improves tenderness and enhances the beef quality.

The effects of water soaking and gamma irradiation on the storage quality of chestnuts (Castanea crenata) were investigated. Chestnuts weirs soaked in water for 48 hrs at room temperature, irradiated at 0, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35 kGy of $\^$60/Co gamma ray, and then stored at 0$\^{C}$ and 95$\pm$2% RH for 9 months. Spouting was observed at the end of storage only in chestnuts that were soaked and irradiated at below 0.25 kGy. Rotting was found from the early stage of storage in all pre-treatment conditions, but the rotting rate of soaked chestnuts was higher twice than unsoaked ones after 9 months of storage. Weight loss was lower in soaked than unseated samples regardless of irradiation dose. Loss of flesh firmness was appreciably retarded as irradiation dose increased. Total sugar content decreased slowly in irradiated samples at the later periods of storage. Gamma irradiation resulted in the decrease of vitamin C content immediately after treatment, but retarded its loss rate during storage. Soluble tannin content was not affected by gamma irradiation at scout inhibition doses.

최근 세계적으로 편의식품의 소비가 증가하면서 과채류의 신선도를 유지시킴과 동시에 편리하게 조리에 이용할 수 있는 최소가공식품(minimally processed foods)의 시장이 확대되고 있다. 그러나, 기개발된 최소가공 과채류는 미생물학적 안전성 및 색 변화 등의 문제점을 수반하여 이 부분을 보완할 수 있는 기술개발이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 감마선을 이용하여 미생물학적 안전성 및 저장성을 향상시킨 최소가공식품 개발의 일환으로, 김치를 모델식품으로 원료배추의 최소가공식품을 개발하기 위해 미생물학적, 이화학적 품질특성을 조사하였다. 절단한 배추의 염농도가 3%가 되도록 절임 및 함기포장 하고, 0~2 kGy의 선량으로 감마선 조사한 후 4$^{\circ}C$에서 3주 동안 저장, 분석하였다. 비조사구의 경우 총균수, coliform Salmonella spp., lactic acid bacteria 등이 모두 7 log cycle 수준을 보였으며, 감마선 조사시 2-5 log cycle 이상 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 색도, 물성 등은 감마선 조사에 의해 비조사구와의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 감마선 조사시 절임배추의 발효현상에 의해 나타나는 pH 저하를 억제할 수 있어 저장성을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 감마선 조사를 이용한 최소가공 절임배추의 개발시 미생물학적 안전성을 보장하면서, 이화학적 특성이 저하되지 않고 저장성을 향상시킨 최소가공식품을 개발할 수 있었다.

The effect of gamma-irradiation on the hydrolytic enzyme activities of some Koran soybean-based fermented foods was studied. Doenjang (soybean paste), kanjang (soy sauce), kochujang (red pepper paste), chungkukjang and meju were prepared and irradiated at 0, 5, 10 and 20 kGy. Then activities of protease, amylase, lipase and fibrinolytic enzyme were determined. Hydrolytic enzyme activities of meju, chungkukjang and doenjang were relatively higher than those of kanjang and kochujang. Amylase, protease and lipase activities were not affected by 10 kGy and were slightly (about 10%) inactivated by 20 kGy of gamma irradiation, with no statistical significance. Fibrinolytic enzyme was stable in all treatments.

Ionizing radiation induces cell damage through formation of reactive oxygen species. The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of post-treatment with hesperetin against ${\gamma}$-irradiation-induced cellular damage and oxidative stress in BALB/c mice. Healthy female BALB/c mice were exposed to ${\gamma}$-irradiation and administered hesperetin (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, b.w., orally) for 7 days after 6 Gy of ${\gamma}$-irradiation. Exposure to ${\gamma}$-irradiation resulted in hematopoietic system damage manifested as decreases in spleen indexes and WBC count. In addition, hepatocellular damage characterized by increased levels of aspartate aminoransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in plasma. However, post-irradiation treatment with hesperetin provided significant protection against hematopoietic system damage and decreased AST and ALT levels in plasma. The results indicate that ${\gamma}$-irradiation induced increases in lipid peroxidation and xanthine oxidase (XO) as well as decreases in antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) and glutathione (GSH) in the liver. These effects were also attenuated by post-treatment with hesperetin, which decreased lipid peroxidation and XO as well as increased antioxidant enzymes and GSH. These results show that post-treatment with hesperetin offers protection against ${\gamma}$-irradiation-induced tissue damage and oxidative stress and can be developed as an effective radioprotector during radiotherapy.

The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and radioprotective effects of Naringin and Naringenin in ${\gamma}$-irradiated mice. The antioxidant activity of Naringin and Naringenin was evaluated by 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Healthy female BALB/c mice were administered Naringin and Naringenin orally ($90{\mu}M/dose$ and $180{\mu}M/dose$) for 7 consecutive days prior to ${\gamma}$-irradiation (6 Gy). Naringenin displayed a much higher antioxidant activity in ABTS and FRAP than naringin. ${\gamma}$-irradiation resulted in cellular damage with decreased spleen and thymus indices and white blood cells (WBC) count. Additionally, ${\gamma}$-irradiation significantly increased lipid peroxidation and decreased the levels of antioxidant enzymes and glutathione (GSH) in the liver tissue. Strikingly, prior administration of Naringenin resulted in considerable prevention of these symptoms. Protection against ${\gamma}$-irradiation-induced cellular damage by Naringenin is likely due to its higher its antioxidant activity. Together, these results confirm that Naringenin is a potent antioxidant and radioprotector.
