Effect of antioxidants on the prevention of gamma radiation induced decomposition of fatty acid hydroperoxide

  • 1. Okayama Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Agriculture

Description

Decomposition of fatty acid hydroperoxide is found to be proportional to the radiation dose. A dose of 20 kGy was found to decompose the hydroperoxide by 98%. Addition of phenolic antioxidants at 4.5 mM could not prevent the decomposition at 20 kGy but the phenolic antioxidants at 20 mM prevented the decomposition. (author)
