Neutron irradiation, starch

IV. Irradiation of Starch with Neutrons, X-Rays, High-Energy Electrons, and y-Rays. 263... [Pg.243]

Potato, com, and wheat starch was irradiated with 9 X 1014 neutrons/cm2. Neutrons cause only a weak peptonizing effect in comparison with 7-rays (2 X 106 rep) (see Table VIII). In the first case, starch becomes radioactive. Radioactive nuclei in starch are mostly phosphate isotopes and only to a very minor extent 14C. The behavior of starch of all three origins in respect to both types of irradiation is nonuniform. Generally neutron radiation does not eliminate phosphoric moieties from starch and is less destructive.77... [Pg.263]
