Gamma irradiation was used as part of a new processing method to produce a brighter-colored and mild-flavored green tea leaf extract that retained all of its physiological activities. Dried green tea leaf was extracted with 70% ethanol and gamma irradiated at 0,5, 10, 20 kGy. Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values were increased with irradiation in a dose-dependent manner, which was a color range from dark brown to bright yellow. However, the irradiation effect gradually disappeared during 3 weeks of storage, with color reverting to that of untreated samples. There was no difference in the radical scavenging and tyrosinase inhibition effect by irradiation. Among antioxidants used, ascorbic acid was the most effective against color reversion. In contrast, cysteine was shown to protect the effect of color change with irradiation. Results indicated that enhanced color of irradiated green tea leaf extract can be effectively controlled by additives such as ascorbic acid and a low storage temperature.e.e.

Potential applications of irradiation technology inpostharvest handling of agricultural products have been documented over the past five decades. The biological effects of ionizing radiation on food were demonstrated to have the potential both of reducing the storage losses by controlling spoilage microoraganisms, insects, to have the potential both of reducing the storge losses by controlling spoiliage microorganisms, insects, sprouting and ripening, and of improving the hygienic quality of raw and processed products. Food irradiation is recognized as a physical and cold process using gamma-rays from radioisotope sources and electron-beam from the accelerator. As one of the technologies or techniques for preserving and improving the safety of food, irradiated technology has been approved in some 40 countries for more than 200 individeual items of foods and of these about 30 countries including Korea are commerically utilizing this technology. Although limited quantities of irradiated foods are available in the market now, the proper uses of this renewed technology will offer great possibilities not only for increasing the availability of postharvest agricultural products, thereby contributing to price stabilization in the off-season, but also for reducing reliance on chemicals used for sanitary and quarantine requirements. This paper deals with biological actions of ionizing radiation and its potential applications in the agri-food industry from the international point of view.

This study was carried out to establish a method for determining if granule-type Ramen soup powder has been irradiated. Thermoluminescence (TL) and pulled photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) were used as the detection methods through observed changes of TL and PPSL intensities after storage under differing conditions. PPSL intensities increased with increases in irradiation doses. The threshold level of PPSL was below 412$\pm$58 photon counts regardless of storage conditions (room and darkroom) after 10 months. TL intensities also increased with increasing irradiation doses. The coefficients ($R^2$) of PPSL (0.74~0.94) and TL intensities (0.92~0.58) were very highly correlated with irradiation dose. The PPSL and TL intensities were decreased after 10 months of storage. These results indicate that discrimination of irradiated from non-irradiated granule-type Ramen soup powder is possible using TL and PPSL methods despite the decrease in intensities of TL and PPSL with increasing storage times.

Competitive indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Ci-ELISA) was used to obtain the preliminary data for the detection of irradiated beef. Ci-ELISA was individually formatted with polyclonal antibodies produced from 2 kinds of bovine proteins, myosin and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Beef round, loin and tender loin were vacuum-packaged and subdivided into 3 groups of 1) irradiation; 2) irradiation and chilled at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 7 day; 3) irradiation and frozen at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months to observe the changes under different storage and/or distribution conditions. Irradiation was performed at 3, 5 and 7 kGy. Protein solutions prepared from the sample were tested by formatted Ci-ELISA. Detected concentrations of myosin and BSA decreased with the increased irradiation dose in all samples with different reduction rates. Myosin was more susceptible to freezing than BSA. Samples irradiated at 5 kGy or above could be differentiated from non-irradiated ones by Ci-ELISA. These results indicate that immunological assay can be used as a detection method for irradiated beef.

This study investigated the effect of low dose ${\gamma}$-irradiation on the damage of the cell envelopes and antibiotic sensitivity profiles of Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella Typhimurium. The bacteria suspension in tryptic soy broth was exposed to the ${\gamma}$-irradiation doses of 0, 1, 1.5, 3, and 5 kGy, and then stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. A viability test, an antimicrobial sensitivity profile, and an electron microscopy were performed to observe the effects due to ${\gamma}$-irradiation treatment. B. cereus could survive the ${\gamma}$-irradiation up to 5 kGy while E. coli and S. Typhimurium were all deactivated at 1.5 kGy and 5 kGy, respectively. At 5 kGy, the cell count of B. cereus was significantly reduced, and the survived bacteria cells retained their important features. There were no significant changes observed in the antimicrobial sensitivity profile (p>0.05) for the recovered bacteria after irradiation treatment. Low dose ${\gamma}$-irradiation below 3 kGy was found to be insufficient to achieve decontamination of B. cereus and S. Typhimurium. Cell envelope damage and deactivation of different bacteria did not occur in the same manner; thus, deferent doses of ${\gamma}$-irradiation may be required for deactivation of different bacteria.

배합사료의 단백질원으로 사용되는 13종의 동물성 및 식물성 원료의 미생물 오염 정도와 방사선 조사에 의한 살균 효과 및 이화학적 특성 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 13종의 사료 원료의 호기성 전세균의 오염은 $10^2-10^7/g$ 범위였으며, 5-7kGy 조사로서 3-4 log cycles정도 감소되었고, 어분에서는 10 kGy 조사로서도 $10^1-10^2/g$ 정도 생존하였다. 대장균군은 13종 중 7종에서 $10^4-10^6/g$정도, 장내 병원성 세균은 어분과 가금부산물에서 $10^2-10^3/g$정도 검출 되었고 3-5kGy조사로서 완전 사멸되었다. 곰팡이의 오염은 $10^1-10^4/g$정도로서 오염 곰팡이의 대부분이 내삼투압성 곰팡이였으며 3-7kGy조사로서 검출 한계 이하로 사멸되었다. 또한 이들에서 분리된 곰팡이는 Aspergillus속과 Penicillium속이 대분이였으며 Cladosporium, Aureobasidium과 Rhizopus 등 검출되었으며, 분리된 11종의 곰팡이중 Aspergillus flavus를 포함한 5 여종이 잠재적 독소를 생성하는 균이었다. 총 아미노산 함량, TBA가 및 과산화물가, 색도 등 이화학적 특성 변화에서는 고선량 방사선 조사와 가열처리는 다같이 대조구에 비해 다소의 영향을 미쳤으나 가열처리구는 더욱 현저하였다. 따라서 5-7kGy 정도의 방사선 조사는 사료의 원료의 품질에 영향을 미치지 않고 전세균의 격감과 곰팡이 및 장내 세균를 완전 사멸시킬 수 있어 간접식품으로서 사료의 위생적인 생산을 가져올 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

곡류 및 전분류, 채소 및 과일류, 생선, 육류 및 콩류 및 향신류 등의 시료에 대한 감마선 조사에 의한 검지 특성을 물리적 검지 방법인 photostimulated luminescence (PSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) 및 thermoluminescence (TL) 분석을 통하여 검지 가능성을 확인하였다. PSL 분석 결과 곡류 및 전분류 시료군 가운데 옥수수 전분, 소맥분과 채소 과일류 시료군의 미역 등의 시료는 비 조사군(negative, ${\leq}700$)으로 판정되었으며, 생선, 육류 및 콩류 시료군의 흰 강낭콩 추출분말 및 향신료 시료군의 칠리 파우더를 포함한 9종의 시료는 감마선 조사군(positive, ${\geq}5000$)으로 판정되었다(전체 시료의 3.2%). 이외에 39종의 시료군에서는 방사선 조사 가능성이 있는 700~5,000 범위의 photon counts (intermediate)를 나타내었다(전체 시료의 15.6%). 이들 시료에 대한 TL 분석 결과, 칠리 파우더를 비롯한 미네랄이 분리된 5종의 시료에서는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 TL glow curve ($TL_1$)을 나타내어 감마선 조사 여부의 확인이 가능하였다. ESR 분석 결과 2차 검증 시료군에서 방사선 유래 특이적인 signal이 관찰되지 않아서 추출물 시료에는 ESR 분석법의 적용이 불가능한 것으로 나타났다.

고추장굴비의 지방산패를 최소화하기 위하여 신선굴비를 동결건조한 굴비포를 사용하여 고추장굴비를 제조하고 비열처리 살균방법으로 초고압과 감마선 처리하여 저장 중에 품질과 미생물변화를 분석함으로서 고추장굴비의 저장과 유통기간 연장 가능성을 검토하였다. 초고압처리(200, 400, 600 MPa) 및 감마선 조사(7, 10, 20, 30 kGy) 후 pH 변화는 유의적으로 차이가 없었으며 20일 동안 상온에서 저장 중에도 시료간의 유의적인 변화를 보이지 않았다. 색도는 Hunter L값과 b값은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 a값은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 외관상 품질에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다. 휘발성 염기질소 대조구와 처리구에서 저장 중 경시적으로 증가하는 현상을 보였으나 초고압처리 압력이 높을수록, 감마선 조사강도가 높을수록 유의적으로 현저히 낮은 증가율을 보였다. TBA값은 모든 시료에서 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가량의 차이는 있으나 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 초고압 처리하지 않은 경우 초기 0.6 mg/g 수준에서 20일 저장 후 4.2 mg/g 수준으로 높은 증가율을 보였으며, 600 MPa 처리구와 30 KGy 처리구의 경우 각각 1.2mg/g과 1.5 mg/g 수준으로 현저하게 낮은 값을 보였다. 초고압처리에 의한 호기성 생균수 감소효과는 다소 낮은 편이었으며 10 kGy 이상의 방사선 조사에 의해 효과적으로 미생물 수를 감소시켰다. 특히 30 kGy 처리구의 경우 20일 동안 저장 후에도 검출되지 않아 멸균효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 고추장 굴비 대중화를 위해서 진공포장이 기본적으로 요구되며, 초고압처리 방법은 단기적인 유통기한 연장효과를 기대할 수 있으며 장기적인 효과를 위해서는 감마선 조사가 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

The effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation were investigated with regards to the microbial growth inhibitory effect on the shelf life of Korean native cattle (Hanwoo) beef prior to refrigerated storage. The Hanwoo samples were exposed to UV radiation ($4.5mW/cm^2$) for 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min. The UV-irradiated beef that was exposed for 20 min showed significantly reduced mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacterial populations to the extent of approximately 3 log cycles, as compared to that of non-irradiated beef. About 2.5 Log CFU/g of mesophilic bacteria were different compared with UV-irradiated and non-irradiated meat. UV irradiation showed the most significant growth inhibition effects on mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria. Coliform and Gram-negative bacteria were also reduced by 1 log cycle. The population of L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 decreased significantly to 53.33, 39.68, and 45.76% after 10 min of UV irradiation. They decreased significantly to 84.64, 80.76, and 84.12%, respectively, after 20 min of UV irradiation. The results show that UV irradiation time and the inhibitory effect were proportional. These results verified that UV radiation prior to refrigeration can effectively reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria on the surface of meat and improve the meat's microbial safety.
