CHROMATOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF $gamma$-IRRADIATED POTATO STARCH GRANULES

Journal Article · · Nippon Nogei Kagaku Kaishi (Japan)

S>Glucose, maltose, arabinose, glucuronic acid, gluconic acid, and a series of small dextrins were identified by paper chromatography of highly irradiated potato starch granules. These mono- and oligosaccharides were analyzed by anion exchange column chromatography, and glucose and maltose were determined quantitatively as main fission products. A gas chromatographic analysis of the gaseous products from starch granules after gamma radiation showed the presence of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. From these results, a part of the mechanism of degradation of starch by gamma radiation is discussed. (Abstr. Japan Med., 1: No. 10, 1961).
