Why is sucrose interesting? Its EPR spectrum is stable, detectable at RT and has a linear dose response up to 10 kGy. Characterization of irradiated foodstuffs Why is sucrose interesting? Its EPR spectrum is stable, detectable at RT and has a linear dose response up to 10 kGy. Characterization of irradiated foodstuffs (Emergency) EPR dosimetry Dose (arb. u.) Intensity (arb. u.) It is also cheap and readily available But I will talk about the structure of the sucrose molecule and crystals, how we prepared the samples, characterization of contributing radicals, and their DFT-assisted identification. Sucrose molecule consists of a glucose unit and a fructose unit linked by a glycosidic bond. Sucrose molecule consists of a glucose unit and a fructose unit linked by a glycosidic bond.

De Coomans PhD thesis, 2008 Sucrose single crystals are monoclinic systems (P2 1 ) with 2 molecules/unit cell. Sucrose molecule consists of a glucose unit and a fructose unit linked by a glycosidic bond. Sample preparation Sucrose was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification. Sample preparation Sucrose was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification. Crystals were oriented visually and polished to fit sample tubes.
