20、ysing the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum (also called the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum) of the bones, see 1 to 11. Inter-laboratory studies have been successfully carried out with beef bones, trout bones and chicken bones, see 12 to 18. Since the radiation-induced ESR signa

21、l is attributed to hydroxyapatite (see 7.1), which is the principal component of bones, it is expected that application of the method can be extended to all meat and fish species containing bones. These expectations are consistent with laboratory experience (see annex B). The detection limit depends

22、 on the state of mineralization of the bones, which is usually lower for small species (see clause 8). 2 Definition For the purposes of this standard, the following definition applies. ESR spectrum The signals obtained by the method described in this European Standard. They are either due to paramag

23、netic compounds formed by irradiation or to compounds originally present. 3 Principle ESR spectroscopy detects paramagnetic centres (e.g. radicals). An intense external magnetic field produces a difference between the energy levels of the electron spins m s =+and m s =2, leading to resonance absorpt

24、ion of an applied microwave beam in the spectrometer. ESR spectra are conventionally displayed as the first derivative of the absorption with respect to the applied magnetic field. The field and frequency values depend on the experimental arrangements (sample size and sample holder), while their rat

25、io (i.e. g value) is an intrinsic characteristic of the paramagnetic centre and its local coordination. For an identification of irradiated samples it may be helpful to measure the g values of the ESR signals. For further information, see 1 to 12. Radiation treatment produces radicals which can be q

26、uite stable in solid and dry components of food (e.g. bones), and can be detected. The intensity of signal obtained increases with the concentration of the paramagnetic compounds and thus with the applied dose. 4 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following. 4.1 Commerciall

27、y available X-band ESR spectrometer, including magnet, microwave bridge, console with field-controller and signal-channel, rectangular or cylindrical cavity. 4.2 g value measurement unit, including frequency counter, magnetic field probe (nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gaussmeter), or any other bu

28、ilt-in g value measurement unit. 4.3 ESR tubes, of internal diameter about 4,0 mm (e.g. Suprasil 1) quartz tubes). 4.4 Balance, accurate to the nearest 1 mg (optional). 4.5 Laboratory vacuum oven or freeze dryer. 5 Sampling plan (No specification yet.) 6 Procedure 6.1 Sample preparation Remove flesh

29、 as completely as possible from a bone sample, e.g. using a scalpel, to get the bone as clean as possible. If necessary, split the bone and remove the marrow. Then dry the bone in a freeze dryer for about 18 h, or for about 3 h at approximately 40 C, in a laboratory vacuum oven (4.5). Remove a suita

30、ble sample piece (about 100 mg, 3,0 mm to 3,5 mm thick and 5,0 mm to 10,0 mm long) for analysis from the dried bone. Place the sample in a standard ESR tube (4.3). NOTE. The samples may be measured in powdered form or as bone fragments. Storing samples in the frozen state will not adversely affect t

31、he detection of treatment with radiation.Page 4 EN 1786 : 1996 BSI 1997 2) These values are for the specified microwave frequency and magnetic field; if the frequency is higher (lower), the magnetic field strength has to be set higher (lower). 3) These values are for the specified magnetic sweep wid

32、th. 6.2 ESR spectroscopy 6.2.1 Spectrometer settings Use a time constant and sweep rate appropriate for an ESR signal with a peak to peak linewidth of approximately 0,4 mT. For example, the following ESR spectrometer settings have been found to be satisfactory: Microwave radiation: 9,5 GHz 2) , powe

33、r 5 mW to 12,5 mW; Magnetic field: 342 mT 2) centre field; sweep width 5 mT to 20 mT; Signal channel: 50 kHz or 100 kHz modulation frequency; 0,2 mT up to 0,4 mT modulation amplitude; 50 ms to 200 ms time constant 3) ; sweep rate 3) 2,5 mTmin 21 to 10 mTmin 21 or accumulation of 3 to 5 spectra at gr

34、eater sweep rate and shorter time constant; Gain: between about 1,03 10 5 and 1,03 10 6 ; Temperature: room temperature. 6.2.2 Analysis of sample Analyse the sample prepared as described in 6.1 in an ESR tube (4.3). Although the g value of the individual signals of the ESR spectrum does not need to

35、be determined in most cases, it can be used for positive identification of irradiated samples (see 7.2). 7 Evaluation 7.1 Assessment of the ESR spectra Irradiated samples are recognized by the appearance of a typical asymmetric signal having g values of 2,002 and 1,998 (see 7.2). This signal is attr

36、ibuted to trapped radicals in hydroxyapatite produced by the action of ionizing radiation on the bone. A low intensity symmetrical signal having a g value of g symm. = 2,005 (see figure A.1) is sometimes present in the ESR spectra (e.g. in the case of bones containing marrow). Typical examples of ES

37、R spectra of unirradiated and irradiated bones (chicken thigh in this case) are shown in the figures A.1, A.2 and A.3. Note that the ESR spectra of bones irradiated at relatively low doses (less than 2 kGy to 3 kGy) frequently reveal a combination of the radiation-specific and the non-specific signa

38、l (see figure A.2). At doses less than 0,5 kGy, the non-specific signal may be stronger than the specific one. In contrast, the radiation-specific signal is frequently the only one observed (see figure A.3) in the case of high doses (more than 3 kGy). 7.2 Calculation of the g value Using the measure

39、d values obtained as described in 6.2.2, calculate the g value (g signal ) using equation 1: g signal = (1) 71,4883 n ESR B where n ESR is the microwave frequency, in gigahertz (GHz); B is the magnetic field (magnetic flux density), in millitesla (mT) (10 Gauss = 10 Gs = 1 mT). The procedure for cal

40、culating the g value of the signals from bone is to measure the frequency (e.g. frequency counter) and the field B (e.g. gaussmeter) at the positions of the arrows in figures A.1 to A.3. The following values are found in bones: g symm. = 2,005 0,001 (no proof of irradiation); g 1 = 2,002 0,001 (irra

41、diated); g 2 = 1,998 0,001 (irradiated). 8 Limitations Detection of irradiated bone samples is typically possible above a dose of approximately 0,5 kGy, covering the majority of commercial applications. Detection limits and stability are influenced by the degrees of mineralization and crystallinity

42、of hydroxyapatite in the sample. In general, the bones of larger animals and species are highly mineralized with low minimum detectable doses. However, variations within individual animals and species have been noted, see 19 to 21. In the case of meat bones, the results of this detection method are

43、not significantly influenced by heating of the sample (e.g. boiling in water). Detection of irradiation treatment is not significantly influenced by storage times of up to 12 months. For poorly mineralized fish bones it has been noted that non radiation-induced signals are strongly enhanced if the t

44、emperatures recommended for drying are exceeded (6.1), and this may interfere with the radiation specific signals.Page 5 EN 1786 : 1996 BSI 1997 Table 1.

47、 is based on inter-laboratory tests with meat bones and fish bones 12 to 18. In an inter-laboratory test carried out by the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) 13, 16, 21 laboratories identified coded samples of beef bones and trout bones which were either unirradiated or irradiated to about 2 kGy,

48、4 kGy or 7 kGy (see table 1). In an inter-laboratory test carried out by the German Federal Health Office (Bundesgesundheitsamt, BGA) 17, 18 laboratories identified coded samples of chicken and trout bones which were either unirradiated or irradiated to about 2 kGy, 4 kGy or 6 kGy (see table 2). 10
