Abstract
Dried cabbage, spinach, carrot, mugwort and yam were irradiated at 1, 5 and 10 kGy using a 60 Co irradiator at room temperature. Effects of irradiation dose and storage time on irradiated dried vegetables were investigated through electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Strong positive correlation coefficients (R 2 = 0.9698-0.9915) were obtained between irradiation dose and corresponding ESR signal intensity. ESR signal of mugwort was most stable at 9 weeks storage, followed by carrot, yam, and spinach, whereas that ESR signal of cabbage was not distinguishable.
