Radical unique to gamma-irradiated allspice and cinnamon and its utiliy for detection of irradiated foods

Abstract

Gamma-Irradiation at a practical dose level of allspice and cinnamon generates a principal signal (signal I, g-value: 2.0048 approx 2.0050) and a minor signal (signal II) at 30 G lower field from signal I in the electron spin resonance spectrum. Signal I, which was not increased in red pepper by photo-exposure, was increased in allspice and cinnamon by gamma-irradiation, heating and even photo-exposure. Signal II was generated only by gamma-irradiation, was little influenced by humidity and was stable for a long time. The ESR method with signal II was applicable to detection of allspice and cinnamon irradiated at 5 kGy or more for up to 6 months after irradiation, as well as allspice irradiated at 10 kGy or more and cinnamon at 5 kGy or more for up to a year. However, signal intensities of signal II differed to some extent between allspice and cinnamon, and even between varieties of cinnamon. Signals I and II were both enhanced after extraction with methanol. Since the rate of increase in signal I was obviously distinct from that of signal II, the radicals corresponding to these signals were presumed to be located at different positions of the matrix of the spice.
