현재 사용되고 있는 물리적 확인시험법인 광자극발광법(PSL), 열발광분석법(TL), 전자스핀공명법(ESR)을 이용하여 4종의 시료에 대해 감마선과 전자선에 의한 확인시험법의 판별 특성을 확인하였다. PSL 측정 결과 고춧가루, 바질, 파슬리 시료는 선원 및 선량에 관계없이 조사된 시료는 photon count 값(PCs)이 5,000 이상인 7,004-70,519의 PCs로 측정되어 조사여부의 판정이 가능하였다. 하지만 조사된 후춧가루에서는 선원에 관계없이 threshold value가 5,000 이하인 442-1,572 PCs로 중간값 및 음성값을 나타냄에 따라 조사여부 확인이 어려웠다. TL 측정 결과에서는 고춧가루, 바질, 파슬리, 후춧가루 4종 모두 선원 및 선량에 관계없이 조사된 시료는 $150-250^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 최대 glow curve peak가 나타났다. 또한 TL ratio값이 0.1 이상인 0.101-0.889을 나타내어 조사여부 판정이 가능하였다. ESR 측정 결과에서는 고춧가루만이 cellulose 유래의 signal을 보이면서 방사선 조사여부를 판정할 수 있었다. 다른 3종 시료에서는 single line signal을 나타내어 ESR 판정이 어렵다는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 전자선조사 향신료에서도 현행 물리적 판별방법으로 조사 여부 확인이 가능하였으며, false 값에 대한 이유를 밝히는 연구가 추가적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

ESR spectroscopy를 이용하여 방사선 조사된 수입산 향신료 3종에서 생성된 ESR 신호 크기에 조사선량과 저장기간이 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수입산 향신료 3종(겨자, 오레가노, 월계수)를 0, 1, 5 및 10kGy의 Co-60 감마선을 조사한 후, 이를 시료로 Bruker-EPR spectrometer를 이용하여 ESR 신호를 측정하였다. 실험결과 조사 직후 감마선 조사된 겨자와 월계수는 조사시료에서 특유의 신호를 나타내어 비조사시료와 뚜렷이 구별할 수 있었고 오레가노는 비조사시료에서 single- line을 보였으나 조사시료와 비교하여 신호 크기가 매우 커서 비조사시료와 쉽게 구별할 수 있었다. 모든 적용선량$(1{\sim}10kGy)$의 범위에서 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 ESR 신호 크기가 증가하였으며, 조사선량과 생성된 ESR 신호 크기와의 상관계수인 $R^2$ 값은 $0.9939{\sim}0.9993$의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또 상온에서 12주 후에도 ESR spectroscopy를 이용하여 방사선 조사의 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.

Electron spin resonance(ESR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of irradiation dose on the ESR signal intensity of irradiated spices and to identify the stability of radicals after storage. Red, white and black peppers, and garlic powders were irradiated with doses of 0, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 kGy at room temperature using a Co-60 irradiator. Triplet ESR signals were observed in irradiated pepper powders, while singlet ESR signals were observed in irradiated garlic powders. Those characteristic signals were not detected in non-irradiated samples. The strength of ESR signals linearly increased with the applied doses(1~3 kGy). Highly positive correlation coefficients ($R^2$=0.9757~0.9933) were obtained between the irradiation doses and the corresponding ESR signal intensities. The signal intensities of irradiated samples were stable even after 97 days of storage at room temperature.

Photostimulated Luminescence (PSL), Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and Thermoluminescence (TL) analysis were conducted to detect irradiation treatment of imported whole and ground spices. The screening by PSL detected no irradiation treatment, except un the ground thyme and bay leaves which exhibited photon counts in the intermediate level. Irradiation of the two spices was detected after irradiating them at 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 kGy, and then subjecting them to PSL analysis, which resulted in the significantly low photons of non-irradiated spices compared to that at 1.0 kGy, indicating that the photon counts varied depending on the amount of inorganic mineral debris in the spices. To confirm a successful detection by using PSL, ESR and TL methods, some spices were selected, irradiated at 5.0 and 10.0 kGy, and subjected to the detection methods. PSL identified the irradiated spices except the cassia, which showed very weak PSL sensitivity, but was identified by ESR analysis. Also, the ESR and TL exhibited the typical signals induced by irradiation treatment and were able to successfully detect all of the irradiated spices. In addition, we found a positive correlation between the intensity of ESR and TL signals and irradiation doses.

This review was intended to develop the sterilization method of spices by gamma irradiation and the results are summarized as follows. Microbial load of spices was different according to the kind of spices and the number was ranged from $10^{2}$-$10^{5}/g$ to $10^{7}$-$10^{8}/g$, gamma irradiation up to 4-10 kGy could decreased or sterilized to the microorganism of spices. In physicochemical properties of spices such as chemical components,essential oil and flavor, irradiated group with optimum dose was almost similar to the nonirradiated one, while fumigant treated group was remarkably deteriorated in the properties of spices compared with control, and free radicals produced by irradiation was disappeared during a few days storage. Irradiated spices should be an aptitude for good quality the storeability of processing food. Optimum dose irradiation below less than that proposed by FAO/IAEA/WHO Joint Committee and FDA was remarkably effect on the sterilization of spices and superior in wholesomeness and economic feasibiity compared with traditional methods. Irradiation might be an alternative to traditional sterilization methods of spices by fumigants such as ethylene oxide and ethylene dibromide because their treatments have been banned in U.S.A and other countries since 1982.

살균처리(殺菌處理) 방법(方法)(ethylene oxide, gamma irradiation)에 따른 5가지 향신료와 그들을 혼합스-프로 가공하여 순위법으로 관능적 품질을 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 시료 모두가 무처리구, 방사선 조사(照射)구, E.O.처리구의 순(順)으로 선호도(選好度)를 나타내었고, 분산분석 결과 5가지 향신료 각각이 1%(<0.01)와 5%(p<0.05)수준으로 유의차가 있었으며 혼합가공된 것은 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 따라서 Duncan의 다범위검정 결과 5가지향신료 모두가 무처리와 방사선 조사구간(照射區間)에는 유의성이 없었고, E.O.처리구간에는 1%와 5%수준의 유의차가 인정되어 살균을 위한 방사선 조사(照射)는 향신료의 품질에 영향을 미치지 않으나 E.O.처리구는 품질저하를 가져 옮을 알 수 있고 이러한 결과는 각 시료의 주요 이화학적(理化學的) 특성(特性)의 변화(變化)와 일치하였다.

최근 방사선 조사는 식품의 발아억제, 살충, 살균 및 숙도조절을 위한 화학약품 처리 등의 대체방안 뿐만 아니라 식품의 저장 및 가공기술로서 인정받고 있으며, 우리나라를 비롯한 약 40개국에서 상업적인 조사식품을 생산하고 있어 이에 대한 정확한 정보를 제공하기 위한 신뢰성 있는 검지기술이 요구되고 있다. 방사선 조사식품 검지법 대상 식품 중 건조향신료 19품목에 방사선 조사 최대 허용선량인 10 kGy까지 $^{60}Co$ 감마선을 단계별로 조사하고 이를 광자극발광법(Photostimulated Luminescence, PSL)을 이용하여 검지특성을 확인하였다. PSL 측정 결과, 건조향신료 19품목 중 14품목은 1 kGy 조사된 시료에서, 1 품목은 5 kGy에서 조사시료(positive)의 threshold value인 5000 이상의 photon count/60 sec로 측정되어 방사선 조사여부의 확인이 가능하였다. 하지만 후추류, 육두구, 계피의 경우는 특이적으로 PSL 측정에 낮은 감도를 보이거나 미네랄 함량이 낮아서 최대 허용선량인 10 kGy 조사시료에서조차 방사선 조사여부의 확인이 불가능하였으며, 이 품목의 경우 열발광분석법(Thermoluminescence, TL) 등을 이용한 방사선 조사여부의 판정이 필요하였다. 또한 식물의 잎을 이용하는 향신료는 비조사 시료와 1 kGy 및 10 kGy 조사시료를 혼합하였을 때, 1 kGy 선량으로 조사된 시료가 1% 혼합된 시료에서도 방사선 조사여부의 확인이 가능하였다.

The detection characteristics of irradiated spices were investigated depending on radiation sources and doses by photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and Thermoluminescence (TL). 6 kinds of spices (turmeric, onion powder, red pepper, basil, parsley, black pepper) were irradiated at 0 to 10 kGy under ambient conditions by both a $^{60}Co$ gamma irradiator and an electron beam (EB) accelerator, respectively. The PSL analysis showed negative results for non-irradiated spices, while irradiated spices gave intermediate and positive value, which presented the limited potential of PSL technique. In TL measurement, TL glow curves on non-irradiated samples appeared at about $300^{\circ}C$ with low intensity. All irradiated samples were easily distinguishable through radiation-specific strong TL glow curves with maximum peak in range of $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$) obtained by a re-irradiation step could verify the detection result of $TL_1$ glow curves, showing ratios lower than 0.1 in the non-irradiated sample and higher than 0.1 in irradiated ones. Therefore, in PSL measurement, the identification of irradiated spices showed more clear results in electron beam irradiated samples. TL analysis showed obvious difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples in gamma ray and electron beam irradiated samples.

Spices(Tumeric, Celery-seed, Cumin, Black pepper, Coriander) were irradiated at dose levels of 0, 5, 7 and 9kGy using Co60 source and stored at room temperature. After 12 months of storage following 9kGy irradiated spice, total aerobic bacteria were significantly decreased. When the irradiation dose was 7kGy, microbial levels showed l02-103 levels. However, total lactic acid bacteria and E-coli were shown negative at below 5kGy.

Accumulated photon counts in immediate measurement after irradiation of marjoram, basil and thyme were shown to be below 625$\pm$162, 577$\pm$178 and 1261$\pm$640 Pc, respectively. The accumulated photon counts increased linearly with increasing irradiation doses up to 5 kGy and slightly increased from 5 kGy to 10 kGy. This trend was similar after storage periods. According to storage conditions, the difference of the accumulated photon counts was net clearly observed. The accumulated photon counts of irradiated spice samples decreased with increasing storage periods. The rate of decrease was higher in 5 and 10 kGy irradiated samples than that in 1 kGy, and in room conditions than that in darkroom conditions. The photon counts of the irradiated spice samples measured for 120 s were higher than those measured for 60 s. The irradiated spice samples showed higher photon counts than those of unirradiated samples in both room and darkroom conditions during all the storage periods. These results indicate that detection of irradiation was still possible after 24 weeks, although the PPSL signal of all spice samples decreased with increasing storage times.
