| Περίληψη: | The study evaluated the profile of some phytochemicals in sorghum grains decontaminated using gamma rays, low and high energy electron beams. Samples were purchased from a major sorghum outlet and were packaged appropriately. The packaged grains were exposed to target irradiation doses of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 kGy, and the un-irradiated sorghum grains served as a control. The ILU-6 accelerator (250 keV), ELEKTRONIKA 10-10 accelerator (9 MeV) and Gamma Chamber 5000 Co-60 source were used for low electron beam, high electron beam and gamma irradiation, respectively. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was used to identify and quantify the flavonoids and phenolic acids in the samples. Antioxidant activity was determined using hydrogen peroxide (H |
