“…Many studies on food contamination radionuclides in the environment and their transfer or pathway mechanism to plant, animals, and human population have been reported [3,4]. Considerable efforts are being made by many authors in many parts of the world to measure the activity of radionuclides in the food chain and to estimate the soil-plant transfer [5].…”

The aim of this study is to determine the transfer factor soil-to-plant and to assess the concentration level of natural and artificial radionuclide (238 U, 226 Ra, 228 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K and 137 Cs) in samples from Saluga and Ghazal Protectorate area in Aswan, Egypt, by using High Pure Germanium detector (HPGe) Environmental Radioactivity Measurements Labrotary in faculty of science Qena. Reported values for natural radionuclides ranged from 8.81

“…Bu sebeple toprakta yetişen ve insanlar tarafından tüketilen gıdalardan yıllık olarak ne kadar doz alındığının bilinmesi önem arz etmektedir. Yıllık etkin doz eşdeğerini hesaplamak için, tüketilen sebzenin her kg'ındaki ortalama radyonüklit konsantrasyonunun (Bq), yıllık ortalama tüketim miktarı ve doz dönüşüm katsayısının kullanıldığı bir denklem kullanılmaktadır (Abbady, 2006). Th ve 40 K), yine bu radyonüklitlerin dünya ortalama değerleri olan 35, 30, 400 Bq/kg değerlerinin altında olduğu tespit edilmiştir.…”

Sarımsak, karbonhidratlar, enzimler, kükürtlü ve fenolik bileşikler, protein ve vitaminler açısından oldukça zengindir. Aynı zamanda yetiştirildiği toprağın yapısına bağlı olarak bünyesinde doğal ve yapay radyonüklitler ile ağır metaller de bulundurabilmektedir. Yemeklere lezzet veren ve birçok hastalığın tedavisinde ilaç olarak kullanılan sarımsak, çiğ olarak tüketildiği gibi kurutulmuş, toz, püre ve uçucu sarımsak yağı gibi sarımsaktan doğrudan elde edilen ürünler olarak da tüketilmektedir. Bu çalışmada farklı saklama koşullarının sarımsağın element ve radyonüklit içeriğine etkileri belirlenmiş, sonuçlar uluslararası kuruluşların sınır değerleri ile kıyaslanmıştır. Sonuç olarak Taşköprü sarımsağının farklı saklama koşullarında radyonüklit konsantrasyonları ve element içeriği bakımından insan sağlığı için herhangi bir tehdit oluşturmadığı saptanmıştır. The Effects of Different Storage Conditions on the Radiometric and Element Content of the Taşköprü Garlic (Allium sativum L.) A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Research ArticleReceived 24 November 2016 Accepted 22 December 2016Garlic is very rich plant in terms of carbohydrates, enzymes, sulphurous and phenolic compounds, proteins and vitamins. At the same time, natural and artificial radionuclides and heavy metals can be found in the garlic depending on the structure of the cultivated soil. Garlic, used as medicine in the treatment of most diseases, is also consumed as raw, powder, mash and volatile garlic oil. In this study, the effects of different storage conditions on the element and radionuclide content of the garlic were determined. The results obtained from this study were compared with the limit values of international institutions. As a result, the radionuclide concentrations and element contents of Taşköprü Garlic will not pose any threat to human health even if the garlic is exposed to different storage conditions.
