The mixture solutions of CT and/or OC with GA were irradiated at the dose of 25 kGy to form the Maillard reaction products (MRPs) respectively. The formations of MRPs were determined by spectrophotometric analyses at the wavelength of 284 nm and 420 nm. The improvement effect caused by the Maillard reaction on the stability of CT and OC solutions in alkaline condition was evaluated through the increase of pH value at the precipitation point of the solutions before and after irradiation. The antibacterial activity of the solutions against Escherichia coli was also investigated. The results showed that the CT-GA MRPs and OC-GA MRPs solutions could be remain their stability at pH 7, and the pH values at the precipitation point were 7.4 and 11.5 respectively. Moreover, at pH 7, the MRPs solutions exhibited high antibacterial activity with the reduction of ~ 4 log CFU/ml over control sample. Furthermore, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a known cytotoxic product formed by heat-induced Maillard reaction was not detected in both irradiated CT-GA and OC-GA solution.

ResRad-Onsite software has been applied to estimate the maximum exposure dose by considering different exposure levels across an area of 5905.7 km2 with a topsoil thickness of 20 cm. The calculation grid used in ResRad Onsite software is divided in the form of a circle of radius 3, 5, 10, 20, and 30 km, respectively, calculated from the circle center in terms of 16 wind directions. A high-purity germanium detector (HPGe) was used to determine 238U, 232Th, 226Ra, 137Cs, and 40K isotopes. The range activity concentrations of them were found to be 6.46 ÷ 48.11; 13.95 ÷ 58.75; 5.71 ÷ 35.27; 0.15 ÷ 1.23 and 6.7 ÷ 222; mBq/g, respectively.

The external dose from the soil is 136.5 µSv/year (accounting for 37%). The results showed that the annual radiation dose distribution derived from the ground equivalent to the average of some different regions in the territory of Vietnam and the world. In addition, the external effective dose from the ResRad-Onsite code tended to be about 1.36 times smaller than the practical measured due to the library’s different dose conversion coefficients.","PeriodicalId":19445,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448395","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}
