Popis: Conservation of food by ionizing radiation has become legally accepted in 37 countries of the world. Although some methods for the identificaton of irradiated food have been developed, there is a deficit in the detection of the irradiation in food with a high protein content. Up to now, only a single method based on the detection of o- and m-tyrosine which develop in addition to the physiologically formed p-tyrosine during the radiation induced hydroxylation of phenylalanine, has been developed (Chuaqhi-Offermanns and McDougall, 1991). Corresponding to this method we wished to find some irradiation induced products of tryptophan which could serve as markers for irradiated food with a high protein content.
