Abstract:

In order to establish a method for identifying radiated pork based on differences in the contents of hydrocarbons, pork was radiated by 60Coγ ray at different dosages (1, 3, 5 kGy and 7 kGy) and radiated pork was analyzed for kinds and contents of volatile hydrocarbons in it by GC-MS based on a sample preparation procedure consisting of Soxhlet extraction, cleanup by solid-phase extraction for the removal of pigments and fat, nitrogen blowing evaporation to dryness and dilution in n-hexane to 1 mL. It was found that 60Coγ ray radiation resulted in the generation of two new compounds in pork, namely C16:2 and C17:1. and that their contents both increased with increasing radiation dosage. Moreover, after 60Coγ ray radiation at higher dosages, more hydrocarbons were found in pork with higher fatty acid contents.
