This study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of the Comet assay, which is widely used for the identification of irradiated meats, to detect irradiated beef cut, ground beef, and Tteokgalbi during freezing storage. Gamma-irradiation significantly increased the DNA damage in frozen beef cut and ground beef samples. Among those, DNA nuclei of samples irradiated with absorbed doses of 1kGy or more showed typical comet-shaped damage, convincing that the samples were irradiated. Meanwhile, DNA nuclei in non-irradiated beef cut and ground beef samples were also damaged according to storage time. In particular, since the damage of DNA nuclei in the non-irradiated samples frozen for three months was similar to that of samples irradiated with a dose of 0.5 kGy, it was considered difficult to detect whether these samples were irradiated by Comet assay analysis. Likewise, gamma-irradiation of Tteokgalbi increased DNA damage. However, significant damage to DNA nuclei was observed even in the non-irradiated samples. Therefore, the application of the analysis method to determine whether the Tteokgalbi sample was irradiated was not appropriate. In conclusion, these results suggest that Comet assay could be limitedly applied only to fresh meat with a short storage period and minimal processing.

The effect of adding 10% fat substitute (10%F) or 2% plum extract (2%P) on the formation of hydrocarbons and 2-alkyl-cyclobutanones (2-ACBs) in freeze-dried beef patties, irradiated (IR) at 44 kGy, and freeze-dried irradiated cooked beef patties was investigated. Hydrocarbons, such as $C_{16:3}$, $C_{16:2}$, $C_{17:2}$ and $C_{17:1}$, were detected only in irradiated samples and their concentrations were high in the order of 2%P+IR, IR and 10%F+IR. Only irradiated beef samples produced 2-ACBs (2-DCB, 2-TCB, 2-TeCB), and their amounts were high in reverse order. The addition of fat substitute or plum extract did not help in reducing hydrocarbons and 2-ACBs in the freeze-dried irradiated cooked beef. However, the amounts of radiation-induced hydrocarbons and 2-ACBs in all irradiated beef patties even at 44 kGy were too small to be of concern for human consumption.

The effects of garlic and onion on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of irradiated ground beef patties were evaluated. Ground beef was mixed with 0.5%(w/w) minced garlic or 2.5%(w/w) minced onion, vacuum-packed in oxygen-impermeable nylon/PE bags and then electron beam-irradiated at 2.5 kGy. All samples were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 d. Irradiation resulted in a 2-log CFU/g reduction in both aerobic and coliform bacteria. The microbial counts gradually increased during storage, but those in beef that contained garlic or onion were 1-log CFU/g lower than those of the control samples after 8 d of storage. The pH value decreased during storage in all meat samples, but this decrease was greater in non-irradiated beef than in irradiated beef. The lipid oxidation, volatile basic nitrogen content and Hunter color values of raw patties were generally not affected by irradiation or the addition of garlic and onion. Sensory evaluation of cooked patties showed that the off-odor was less pronounced in samples that contained added garlic or onion than in control samples, and that the overall acceptability of beef formulated with garlic was the highest. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the addition of garlic or onion in combination with irradiation treatment enhanced the microbial quality and improved the sensory quality of irradiated ground beef.

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.

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to detect irradiated meat containing bones (chicken, pork and beef）, to investigate the effect of irradiation dose on the ESR signal intensity and to identify the stability of radicals under 9 weeks of storage. Chicken, pork and beef were irradiated with doses 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 kGy at room temperature using a Co-60 irradiator. Bones were pieced and dried, which were placed in a quartz tube within an Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer resonator cavity. The irradiated bone presented an asymmetric absorption in shape, different from that of a non-irradiated one. The signal intensity of smaller animals are lower than larger species. Variation was observed between samples of the same species depending on the calcification status of the bone. Moreover different irradiation doses produced different signal areas that make possible to estimate the absorbed dose of treated meat. The ESR signal stability after irradiation was stable in even after a 9 week storage at room temperature.

The combined effects of electron-beam irradiation and ageing of beef were examined. The irradiated samples at dose of 0 or 2 kGy were kept and analyzed for the microbial growth, shear values, meat color, and nucleotide-related flavor compounds at different ageing temperatures (2, 10, or 25℃) for 8 d. The irradiation effect on inactivation of foodborne pathogens was also investigated. The population of Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7 inoculated in beef samples decreased in proportion to the irradiation dose, showing D₁₀ values of 0.66 and 0.65 kGy respectively. The irradiated beef eye of round had lower number of total aerobic bacteria (TAB) than nonirradiated one during the storage, but the TAB increased with higher ageing temperature (p<0.05). Especially, TAB increased sharply in non-irradiated samples aged at 25℃ after 4 d (p<0.05). With increasing ageing temperature and ageing time, shear force values decreased (p<0.05). The color a* values of the irradiated beef were lower than those of the non-irradiated throughout the ageing period (p<0.05). As ageing time and temperature increased, the amounts of inosine monophosphate decreased and the hypoxanthine increased (p<0.05). Relatively high ageing temperature could be used at irradiated beef eye of round to shorten the ageing time.

미생물적 품질개선이 요구되는 복합조미식품 2종(beef broth 분말, pork bone extract 분말)을 대상으로 $0\~10kGy$의 감마선을 조사하고 광자극 발광(PSL), 전자스핀공명(ESR) 및 열발광(TL) 측정에 의한 조사여부검지 가능성을 분석하였다. 조사선량에 따른 PSL photon count를 측정해 본 결과, 비조사 beef broth와 pork bone 분말은 각각 503.0과 429.5의 값을 보여 비조사 시료에서 측정되는 700이하의 값이 확인되었다. 그러나 $1\~10kGy$ 조사시료에서는 모두 5,000 이상의 photon count가 측정되어 이들 복합조미식품은 PSL 분석에 의해 방사선 조사여부를 신속하게 screening할 수 있었다. 또한 조사시료의 ESR 분석에서는 beef broth와 Pork bone 분말에서 signal의 g-value가 2.0065와 2.0067로 각각 측정되었고, 조사선량에 따라 ESR signal intensity가 증가하는 경향으로 beef broth 분말 $R^2=0.9226$, pork bone extract 분말 $R^2=0.9280$의 상관을 보였으나 방사선 유래의 signal은 확인되지 않았다. TL분석 결과 beef broth분말의 경우에서만 $170^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 방사선 조사 유래의 glow curve가 나타났으며, 재조사에 의한 TL ratio $(TL_1/TL_2)$는 비조사군 0.05이하, 1kGy 이상 조사군 1.0 이상으로 방사선 조사 여부의 검지가 가능하였다.

This study was done to investigate effects of ${\gamma}$ irradiated beef feeding on the formation of gluta thione S transferase placental form positive(GST P+) foci, lipid peroxidation, cytochrome P450 system and microsomal glucose 6 phosphate activity in diethylnitrosamine(DEN) initiated rat hepatocarci nogenesis. Weaning Sprague Dawley male rats were fed the diet containing ${\gamma}$ irradiatied ground beef at the dose of 0, 3, 5kGy as a 20% of protein source for 8 weeks. One week after feeding, rats were intraperitoneally injected twice with a dose of DEN(50mg/kg BW). As a promoter, 0.05% phenobarbital was fed in drinking water from one week after DEN treatment until the end of experiment. At the end of 8th week, rats were sacrificed and hepatic GST P+ foci, microsomal malondialdehyde(MDA) and conjugated diene contents were determined. In addition, cytochrome P450 content and the activities of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and glucose 6 phosphatase were also measured. There was no significant effect by gamma irradiation on microsomal MDA content, conjugated diene, cytochrome P450 content and activities of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and glucose 6 phosphatase. However with DEN treatment, microsomal MDA content and conjugated diene contents were significantly changed. Cytochrome P450 content was also significantly increased while microsomal glucose 6 phophatase activity was significantly decreased with DEN treatment. However activity of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase was not affected. An interesting finding in this study was that the number and area of hepatic GST P+ foci of the rats fed gamma irradiated beef were significantly(p<0.05) lower than those of the control. Such a lowering effect on GST P+ foci formation was highest at the dose of 3kGy than others. Overall results suggest that the consumption of low dose of gamma irradiated beef does not affect the formation of lipid peroxide, cytochrome P450 system and membrane stability.

Hydrocarbons were analyzed in irradiated beef, pork, dried and seasoned beef, dried anchovy, dried squid, dried shrimp, and fish paste to determine whether the hydrocarbons can be used as markers for detecting post-irradiation of the imported meat and fish products. The samples were irradiated at 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 kGy. Fat was extracted with hexane, and hydrocarbons were separated from the fat through Florisil column. The hydrocarbons were analyzed with GC. Hydrocarbons 15:0, 16:1, 17:1, 16:2, 17:2, and 16:3 in beef and pork, 17:1, 16:2, and 17:2 in dried and seasoned beef, 16:2 in dried anchovy, 16:1 and 17:1 in dried squid, 16:1, 17:1, and 16:2 in dried shrimp, and 16:1, 16:2, and 16:3 in fish paste were detected in the irradiated samples, but not in the unirradiated, so that the hydrocarbons may be used as makers for detecting post-irradiation of each item.

본 연구에서는 단체급식이나 외식용으로 주로 사용하고 있으나 미생물 오염에 쉽게 노출될 수 있는 패티용 분쇄 우육에 방사선조사기술을 적용하였을 때 나타나는 미생물 감균효과, 품질특성 및 관능품위에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 방사선조사 직후의 냉장육 초기 미생물은 식품 첨가물에 관계없이 $10^{5}CFU/g$ 수준이었으나 3 kGy 선량의 방사선조사에 의하여 $10^{2}-10^{3}CFU/g$ 수준으로 감균되었으며, 7 kGy에서는 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 반면에 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 90일 저장한 냉동육의 미생물은 $10^{3}-10^{4}CFU/g$ 수준으로 낮아졌고 3 kGy 이상의 조사선량에서 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 분쇄우육 제조시 가공적성 또는 맛을 개선하기 위하여 사용되는 아질산염, 소금, 인산염 및 아스콜빈산과 같은 식품첨가물은 미생물의 방사선 감수성에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 분쇄우육의 보수력에 미치는 방사선조사의 영향은 크지 않았으며, 방사선조사와 관계없이 냉장 육에 비하여 냉동육의 보수력이 높았는데 pH 변화와 관계가 있는 것으로 생각되었다. 해동감량에 미치는 방사선조사의 영향은 보수력과 마찬가지로 방사선조사선량에 따라 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 소금과 인산염이 첨가된 시료구에서는 해동감량이 적게 나타났다. 냉장육의 경우 방사선조사선량이 증가할수록 TBARS 값이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 첨가물이 함유된 시료구는 대조구보다 낮은 TBARS 값을 보였고, 냉동육은 냉동변성에 의한 육질의 물리적 특성 변화가 TBARS값에 일부 영향을 미치는 것으로 예상되었다. 적색도는 냉장육 대조구의 경우 방사선조사에 의하여 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 식품첨가물이 첨가된 시료구에서는 3kGy에서 가장 높은 적색도를 보인 이후 7 kGy 이상에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 냉동육은 방사선조사 및 식품첨가물의 영향에 따른 뚜렷한 경향을 찾을 수 없었다. 한편, 냄새 및 색깔에 대한 관능특성을 보면 방사선조사에 의하여 불쾌취가 높았으나 이러한 불쾌취는 아스콜빈산 첨가에 의하여 일정부분 상쇄되는 것으로 나타났다. 색깔의 경우 전반적으로 시료구에 관계없이 3 kGy 방사선조사에서 관능적으로 양호하였으며 이는 적색도와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 특히, 아스콜빈산이 함유된 시료구에서 색깔 및 냄새에 대하여 양호한 점수가 나온 결과에서 방사선조사된 고기의 냄새와 색깔에 미치는 아스콜빈산의 영향에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되었다.
