Abstract

Instrumental neutron activation analyses (INAA) of different varieties of wheat and Bengal gram in India have been performed with a 2 Ci 252Cf fission neutron source for their mineral nutrient content. The percentages of potassium, sodium and manganese in Bengal gram dhal and in its husk as well as that of sodium and manganese in different wheat samples are determined by measuring the γ activity of radioisotopes formed after (n,γ) reaction at the corresponding photo peak using an 8 K multichannel analyzer coupled with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector.
