Abstract
ABSTRACT: Detection characteristics of perilla seeds exposed to electron beam doses of 0 to 2 kGy were investigated. DNA comet assay, photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) measurements, and hydrocarbon determinations by GC‐MS were carried out. The irradiated samples showed comets with longer tails (152 ± 6 mm) than did nonirradiated samples (35 ± 11 mm). PSL values (photon counts) for the irradiated samples were more than 7865; whereas those of nonirradiated samples were less than 294. TL ratios (Glow 1/Glow 2) obtained from nonirradiated samples were less than 0.01 and above 0.48 from irradiated ones. The prominent radiation‐induced hydrocarbons were 16:2, 16:3, 17:1, and 17:2, of which 16:2 was the most abundant.
