Inactivation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was evaluated on the inoculated fresh Radix Ginseng by electron beam irradiation or aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) treatment. Two groups of fresh ginsengs were prepared and inoculated with A. tumefaciens. One group was then irradiated at 0, 2, and 4 kGy using an electron beam accelerator, and the other group was treated with 0, 50, and 100 ppm of aqueous $ClO_2$. Microbiological data indicated that populations of A. tumefaciens significantly decreased with increasing irradiation dose or aqueous $ClO_2$ concentration. In particular, A. tumefaciens was eliminated by irradiation at 4 kGy, and 100 ppm $ClO_2$ treatment reduced the populations of A. tumefaciens by 1.44 log CFU/g. These results suggest that electron beam irradiation or aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment can be useful in improving the microbial safety of fresh ginsengs during storage.

인삼분말에 대한 전자선(electron beam)의 이용가능성을 연구하고자, 방사선 살균처리(2.5∼15 kGy)가 백삼 및 홍삼분말의 사포닌 함량 및 패턴, 페놀함량, 산성다당체 함량, amylase activity, 단백질 패턴 등에 미치는 영향을 감마선 조사와 비교하였다. 사포닌 함량과 패턴을 TLC 및 HPLC로 분석해 본 결과, 조사선량과 에너지원에 따른 변화는 확인되지 않았으며, 실온 저장 4개월 이후에도 안정된 경향을 보였다. 총페놀성분 및 산성다당체 함량은 홍삼이 백삼 보다 높은 함량을 보였으며, 산성다당체 함량은 조사선량의 증가로 높은 추출량을 보였다. 백삼분말의 amylase activity는 방사선조사 직후 증가하였으나, 4개월 이후에는 대조구 보다 낮은 간을 보였으며, 추출단백질의 전기영동 패턴은 15 kGy의 전자선 및 감마선구에서도 대조구와 차이가 없었다.

This study was carried out to convert the hydrophobic characteristics of PVDF to hydrophilic. Poly(-vinylidene fluorine) (PVDF) was grafted by electron beam irradiation and sulfonated. The grafting degree of modified PVDF increased with the monomer concentration, but not the conversion degree. From the results of FTIR and XPS, it was shown that the amount of converted sulfur increased with the grafting degree. The radiation-induced graft polymerization led to decrease fluorine from 35.7% to 21.3%. Meanwhile, the oxygen and sulfur content increased up to 8.1% and 3.2%. The pore size of modified membranes was shrunken and the roughness sharply decreased after irradiation. The ion exchange capacity and contact angle were investigated to show the characteristics of PVDF. The enhanced ion exchange capacity and lower contact angle of modified PVDF showed that the hydrophilicity played a role in determining membrane fouling. Electron beam irradiation successfully modified the hydrophobic characteristics of PVDF to hydrophilic.

Dyeing properties of hydrophobic polypropylene fibers using cationic dyes were investigated to improve dyeability by electron beam irradiation and sulfonic acid incorporation. The color strength of irradiated polypropylene fibers was examined according to the dyeing conditions including pH of dyebath, absorbed doses, and introduction of functional group to fiber substrate. The best dyeing result was obtained when sulfonic acid group incorporated polypropylene fibers after electron beam irradiation were dyed with cationic dyes at alkaline conditions and 30$\sim$75kGy irradiation ranges.

The purpose of this research is to detect whether agricultural products were electron beam irradiated or non-irradiated by chemical methods according to increase of storage period. The three fat-rich samples including soybean, walnut, and sesame were chosen as agricultural products, and then were irradiated with doses of 1~10 kGy by using 10 MeV electron beam facility. At the result, 8-heptadecene and 1,7-hexadecadiene, which are indicators of electron beam-irradiation in chemical methods by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS) method, were detected in all three samples. The levels of two irradiation indicators were increased by electron beam-irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, two irradiation indicators also were detected in all samples in 6 and 12 months after irradiation, though levels of those were decreased in a time-dependent manner. These results mean that the quantification of 8-heptadecene and 1,7-hexadecadiene could determine whether electron beam were irradiated or non-irradiated until 12 month after irradiation in 3 fat-rich agricultural products including soybean, walnut, and sesame.

The effect of electron beam irradiation on dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been studied to examine degradation of DSSC. The high-energy electron beam irradiation affects on the materials and performance of dye sensitized solar cells. We have checked the effects of electron beam irradiation of $TiO_2$ substrate with and without dye adsorption on the photovoltaic performances of resulting DSSCS and also studied the structural and electrical properties of polymers after irradiation. All solar cells materials were irradiated by electron beams with an energy source of 2MeV at different dose rates of 60 kGy, 120 kGy 240 kGy and 900 kGy and then their photoelectrical parameters were measured at 1 sun $(100 mW/cm^2)$. It was shown that the efficiency of DSSC was decreased as increasing the dose of e-beam irradiation due to lowering in $TiO_2$ crystallinity, decomposition of dye and oxidation of FTO glasses. On the other hand, the performance of solid-state DSSC with polyethylene oxide based electrolyte was improved after irradiation of e-beam due to enhancement of its conductivity and breakage of crosslinking.

본 연구는 연안해역에서 발생하는 적조의 현장 제어기술로 전자빔을 이용하고자 적조사멸에 대한 전자빔 조사의 효율성을 평가하였다. Prorocentrum minimum, Prorocentrum micans, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Heterosigma akashiwo, Alexnadrium catenella의 5종을 실험대상 적조로 선정하여 배양하였으며, 실제 경남 통영(2007. 8. 15)에서 발생한 적조에 대해서도 동일한 실험을 수행하였다. 전자빔 조사선량은 1 kGy, 2 kGy, 4 kGy, 8 kGy로 1 kGy의 전자빔 조사로 50~65%의 적조사멸율을 보였으며, 1일 경과 시 86~97% 사멸하였다. Chlorophyll-a의 경우 조사 즉시 50~64% 감소하고, 1일 경과한 뒤 72~93%의 감소율을 보였다. 또한 전자빔 조사 즉시 S-protein은 28~47%, S-carbohydrate는 16~45% 가 증가하였으며, 1일의 시간 경과 후에는 S-protein이 77~138%, S-carbohydrate가 77~212%까지 증가하였다. 또한 투과 전자현미경을 통해 전자빔 조사 전후의 적조세포 관측을 통하여 세포의 파괴 및 세포내 구성물질의 용출을 확인할 수 있었다. 이렇듯 적조에 전자빔을 조사함으로써 Extracellular Biopolymer에 의한 Flocculation을 유도하여 적조를 침강 제어할 수 있다. 또한 전자빔 조사 전 후 Alexandrium catenella의 PSP(Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) 패독 분석 결과 1 kGy의 전자빔을 조사함으로써 전자빔을 조사하지 않은 적조 대비 PSP 독성 함량이 48% 감소하여 전자빔조사가 유독적조의 사멸 뿐만 아니라 제독에도 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Background: The combined effect of the low energy electron (LEE) irradiation and $Cu^{2+}$ ion on DNA damage was investigated. Materials and Methods: Lyophilized pBR322 plasmid DNA films with various concentrations (1-15 mM) of $Cu^{2+}$ ion were independently irradiated by monochromatic LEEs with 5 eV. The types of DNA damage, single strand break (SSB) and double strand break (DSB), were separated and quantified by gel electrophoresis. Results and Discussion: Without electron irradiation, DNA damage was slightly increased with increasing Cu ion concentration via Fenton reaction. LEE-induced DNA damage, with no Cu ion, was only 6.6% via dissociative electron attachment (DEA) process. However, DNA damage was significantly increased through the combined effect of LEE-irradiation and Cu ion, except around 9 mM Cu ion. The possible pathways of DNA damage for each of these different cases were suggested. Conclusion: The combined effect of LEE-irradiation and Cu ion is likely to cause increasing dissociation after elevated transient negative ion state, resulting in the enhanced DNA damage. For the decrease of DNA damage at around 9-mM Cu ion, it is assumed to be related to the structural stabilization due to DNA inter- and intra-crosslinks via Cu ion.

Electron beam irradiation is widely used as a type of surface modification technology to advance surface properties. In this study, the effect of electron beam irradiation on properties, such as surface hardness, wear resistance, roughness, and critical load of Titanium Aluminium nitride (TiAlN) films was investigated. TiAlN films were deposited on the SKD-61 substrate by using cathode arc ion plating. After deposition, the films were bombarded with intense electron beam for 10 minutes. The surface hardness was increased up to 4520 HV at electron irradiation energy of 1500 eV. In addition, surface root mean square (RMS) roughness of the films irradiated at 1500 eV shows the lowest roughness of 484 nm in this study.

Chitosan is a useful natural polymer material in many application fields such as biomaterials, water-treatment, agriculture, medication, and food science. However, the poor solubility limits its application. In this study, the effects of radiation on chitosan were investigated using gamma ray and electron beam irradiation. The chemical structure and molecular weight analysis show similar degradation effects of chitosan powder in both gamma ray and electron beam irradiation. However, the radiation irradiated chitosan in $H_2O$ has a lower molecular weight, since the hydroxyl radicals attack the glycosidic bonds. This effect is more clearly shown in the electron beam irradiation results.
