Abstract

When triglycerides or fatty acids are irradiated, some of the major stable product are hydrocarbons formed from the loss of CO 2 and CH 3 COOH in various free-radical reactions. A capillary gas chromatographic procedure has been developed to monitor the presence of these radiolytically generated hydrocarbons in meats treated with ionizing radiation. Several lipid extraction procedures for isolating the radiolytically generated hydrocarbons from the irradiated meat were compared. The radiolytically generated hydrocarbons were separated from the extracted lipids on a Florisil column and determined by capillary gas chromatography. The yield of these radiolytically generated hydrocarbons was linear with absorbed dose
