Etude de l'aldéhyde glycolique formé au cours de l'irradiation gamma de l'amidon de maïs

Abstract
Research of Glycolaldehyde Formed During Gamma Irradiation of Maize Starch. During gamma irradiation of maize starch, glycolaldehyde occurs (5,6 μg/g/Mrad, in oxygen). The influence of several parameters has been determined: irradiation conditions (dose, temperature, surrounding gas), stockage temperature and starch characteristics (moisture, impurities). On the other hand, irradition effects were compared to heat treatment effects.
