“…The GC chromatogram of the irradiated samples exhibited a new peak that was identified as phenol. The content of phenol in different irradiated samples exhibited a dose-dependent increase with radiation, being linear in the dose range of 0.1-3.0 kGy [27].…”

Abstractγ-Radiation provides an effective alternative method to reduce or eliminate microbial contamination of medicinal herbs and other plant materials. However, a search in the literature is important to describe the effects of γ-radiation on the content and integrity of secondary metabolites from plants. The present work provides a review of the effects of γ-radiation on extraction yields and chemical composition of essential oils isolated from roots, rhizome and cortex, leaves, fruits, seeds, flowers, and whole plant. In addition, this review describes the effects of γ-radiation on terpenes. The informations in the present work may assist in research about essential oils and dose of γ-radiation that is able to biologically decontaminate without causing chemical changes in secondary metabolites. These reports in the literature can describe the behavior of many of these metabolites when subjected to various doses of radiation.

Triacylglycerols profiling as a chemical tool to identify mushrooms submitted to gamma or electron beam irradiation

In order to define irradiation treatment as a routine conservation methodology, it is imperative to develop chemometric indicators with the ability to distinguish irradiated from unirradiated foodstuffs. Electron spin resonance, photostimulated luminescence and thermoluminescence methods were employed to monitor radiation-induced markers, as well as different chemical compounds produced from the lipidic fraction of different foodstuffs. Otherwise, the specificity of triacylglycerol profiles was previously detected in mushroom species, as also the effect of irradiation treatment in the triacylglycerol profiles of chestnut. Accordingly, its feasibility as chemometric indicator of irradiated mushrooms was evaluated. In line with the obtained results, the effects of each type of irradiation were significantly different, as it can be concluded from the correlations among discriminant functions and variables within each statistical test. Triacylglycerol profile proved to be a useful tool to detect irradiated mushrooms, independently of the species or irradiation source, especially for doses above 1 kGy.
