Effects of Low Dose Gamma-Radiation on Select Wheat Properties

Abstract: The effects of space-travel-relevant radiation doses (gamma radiation) on structure, function, and antioxidant properties of select wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) were investigated. Following radiation treatment, proteins were analyzed using SDS-PAGE, mixograph, and atomic force microscopy methods. Starch granule damage and pasting curve functionality were evaluated; lipid oxidation was determined using a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances method; and antioxidant capacity was measured using 2,2-di… Show more

“…Regarding to radiation mutation, the obtained mutant M10 came from low radiation dose program (350 Gy) showed slight effects on wheat protein compared to wheat protein of the study by Le Maire et al (1990) who treated wheat flour with 10 kGy γ-radiation and found a sharp reduction in the quantity of protein in SDS-Page. However, our study are in agreement with Stoklosa et al (2012) in using low radiation doses.…”

“…Physicochemical studies of two wheat varieties indicated no adverse effects on quality at a 200 Gy gamma irradiation dosage, which suggests that the proteins in the caryopsis are still intact (Rao, Hoseney, Finney, & Shogren, 1975). In contrast, in a later study low dosages of gamma irradiation of hexaploid wheat kernels did affect protein, lipid and antioxidant characteristics (Stoklosa, Perchonok, Little, Nivens, & Mauer, 2012).…”

“…The fact that mobilization of food reserves is also used in the determination of the efficiency of energy conversion exclude the effect of reduced metabolic activity. Low dosages of irradiation can weaken but do not consistently damage the wheat starch granule (Stoklosa et al, 2012). They only found significant damage to starch at 100 Gy in one out of five hexaploid wheat cultivars.…”

“…Dityrosine or isodityrosine bond is considered as the main cross‐linkage under gamma radiation (Delcour et al, 2012; Jansens et al, 2011; Joye et al, 2009a; Rombouts et al, 2013; Wieser, Bushuk, & MacRitchie, ). There are contradictory results that radiation did not affect the digestibility and biological value of wheat gluten at 2.79 Mrad; however, some researchers reported that the relative nutritive value was reduced owing to the small losses (<10%) of methionine, leucine, and isoleucine of wheat gluten treated by 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 Mrad doses (Lee et al, 2005; Stoklosa et al, 2012; Wang & Yu, 2009). Myriad investigations have shown the effect of irradiation on the physico‐chemical and rheological properties of gluten (Lee et al, 2005; Stoklosa et al, 2012; Wang & Yu, 2009).…”

“…Radiation‐sterilized wheat gluten was entirely acceptable for rat growth during a 20‐day feeding period. The lysine, cysteine, and methionine content in wheat gluten was not diminished after irradiation (0.02–1 Mrad) while other amino acids, particularly tyrosine, significantly increased (Lee, Lee, & Song, 2005; Stoklosa, Perchonok, Little, Nivens, & Mauer, 2012; Wang & Yu, 2009). Dityrosine or isodityrosine bond is considered as the main cross‐linkage under gamma radiation (Delcour et al, 2012; Jansens et al, 2011; Joye et al, 2009a; Rombouts et al, 2013; Wieser, Bushuk, & MacRitchie, ).…”
