    Tea is the second most widely consumed beverages in the world and is processed from two and a bud of Camellia sinensis (L.). Depending on the processing may give rise to four mainly teas (green, black, oolong and white tea). The white tea is the one that has recently awakened interest in scientific community due the fact that this tea has more antioxidant property and activity than green tea. A further industrialization and commercialization of these plants become a problem of public health. The presence of potentially toxigenic fungi can be found in these products, indicating a great potential for the presence of mycotoxins that can cause acute and chronic effects in different organs and systems of the human body. Ionizing radiation is one of the most effective means disinfecting dry food ingredients. This treatment can inhibit cellular life division, like microorganisms, promoting a molecular structural modification. The aim of this study was evaluate the effects of radiation on volatile formation in white tea. Samples were irradiated in room temperature at 60Co source Gammacell 220 (A.E.C. Ltda) at doses of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20kGy. The volatiles organic compound was extracted by hydrodestilation and the extract was separated and identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis. The results show that the quantities of volatiles formations are directly proportional to the increase of radiation dose. About 37.86% of the compounds were stable at all radiation doses and 47.53% of new compounds were identified after irradiation.

    Advances between e-beams and sup(60)Co applications in soybeam grains
    2007 - FANARO, G.B.; SALUM, D.C.; NUNES, T.C.F.; FURGERI, C.; RELA, P.; VILLAVICENCIO, A.L.C.H.
    Soybean is the most important oleaginous cultivated in the whole world and generates income of billions of dollar, direct and indirectly and its nutrients become basic for the feeding human being, beyond its byproducts, that offer great diversities of products for the nourishing industry. Between the main factors that limit the attainment of high incomes, are the illnesses caused by microrganism like fungi, bacteria, and viruses that, in general, are difficult to control and cause damages of billions of dollar every year. An alternative to minimize the losses is preserving the grains through the irradiation and then, the use of electron accelerator is indicated, therefore its advantage for exporting industria of grains in relation to the irradiators for 60Co is basic. This work aims to compare the effects of the radiation through viscosimetry, DNA Comet Assay and Cooking time techniques in soybean grains at doses 0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0kGy irradiated at e-beam accelerator - Radiation Dynamics (Radiation Dinamics Co. model JOB, New York, USA), 1.5 MeV-25mA with the lower energy and in a 60Co source, Gammacell 220 (A.E.C. Ltda) in ambient temperature.
