The hydroxyl radical (·OH) reacted with and caused polymerization of acid soluble collagen. Similar reactions were also observed in a ferrimyoglobin and cytochrome C system. Insoluble collagen from bovine muscle subjected to radiation is followed by a first-order process for the decay of free radicals, depending on relative humidity of the system. When the samples were irradiated with 3 kGy at 25°C by a Cesium-137 Irradiator, the observed half life (hr) of free radicals in the samples decreased with increase of relative humidity RH: 31% > 69% > 100%. When collagen, previously kept dry or under 31% RH, was irradiated with 3 kGy at 77°K (-196°C), the decay of free radicals reached a plateau with annealing at -120°C or higher. The decay kept decreasing with annealing at -100°C or higher temperature when collagen maintained at 69 and 100% RH was used. It is concluded that the free radicals in moistened collagen from bovine muscle decreased at a higher rate than in dried collagen. This suggests that free radicals may persist for a longer period of time in irradiated dry proteins of food or animal feed than in foods of higher moisture extent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101054,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry (1977)","volume":"25 1","pages":"Pages 155-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-5724(85)90260-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53763857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
