Thermal decomposition of irradiated casein molecules

Abstract

Non-isothermal studies were carried out using the derivatograph where thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) measurements were used to obtain the activation energies of the first and second reactions for casein decomposition before and after exposure to gamma rays and fast neutrons. Cf- 252 was used as a source of fast neutrons associated with gamma rays. TG and DTG patterns were also recorded for casein samples before and after irradiation with 1 Gy gamma-rays of 0.662 MeV from Cs - 137. However, no change in a activation energies were observed after exposure to gamma-irradiation. On the other hand, the activation energies for first and second reactions were found to be smaller at 0.4 m Gy than that at lower and higher neutron doses. However, no change in activation energies was observed after {gamma} irradiation. It is concluded from the present study that destruction of casein molecules by low level fast neutron doses may lead to changes of shelf storage period milk. 3 figs., 1 tab.
