Electron beam irradiation (EBI) has high energy, no induced radioactivity, and strong degradation capacity toward mycotoxins, such as zearalenone (ZEN) and ochratoxin A (OTA). In this study, we determined EBI’s influence on the physical and chemical properties of corn contaminated with ZEN and OTA. Moreover, the toxicity of corn after EBI was assessed through a mouse experiment. Amylose content and starch crystallinity in corn decreased significantly (p < 0.05) at an irradiation dose higher than 20 kGy. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that the starch particles of corn began to be crushed at 10 kGy. Essential and total amino acid contents in corn decreased significantly with increasing irradiation dose of EBI (p < 0.05). Feeding EBI-treated corn fodders to mice could significantly improve blood biochemical indexes. The EBI-treated group was not significantly different from the normal corn group and did not display histopathological changes of the liver. EBI treatment can influence the quality of corn to some extent and effectively lower the toxicity of ZEN and OTA in contaminated corn. The results provide a theoretical and practical basis for the processing of EBI-treated corn and its safety.

The oxides of maximum valence transition metals have been extensively studied in view of their useful physical and chemical properties. Vanadium pentoxide is one such compound which exhibits important catalytic properties, but is sensitive to electron beam irradiation. Vanadium pentoxide has the orthorhombic symmetry and the structure is built from deformed octahedra with a longer and weak V-O bond along the c direction. Consequently, V2O5 is a layered structure with (001) cleavage plane, and the oxygen atoms located at the cleavage plane can be easily lost during the electron beam irradiation. In this paper we present time resolved parallel detection EELS study of radiation damage of V2O5 with a 200 kV cold field emission analytical electron microscope (HF-2000). Samples of V2O3 and VO2 are also analyzed for comparison. The EELS spectra were obtained with a spectrometer dispersion of 0.1 eV per channel in TEM image mode using probe sizes of 20-50 nm. The beam current recorded by a picoammeter connected to the screen was calibrated by the direct measurement with a Faraday cup for the calculation of electron dosage.
