Abstract

In this study, the PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) piero-film sensor was applied to measure the internal quality of apple. The developed sensor detected the response signal through apple after mechanical impact on the surface of apple. The acoustical parameters at time domain such as rise time (RT), ring down count (RC), energy (EN), event duration (ED) and peak amplitude (PA) and acoustical parameter at frequency domain such as spectral density (SE) were analyzed. The size of waveform decreased as storage time of apple increased. The frequency at maximum magnitude was shifted to lower frequency band according to the storage time. The acoustical parameters showed strong relationship with storage time. The multiple linear regression equation was developed to estimate storage time of apple using the acoustical parameters at time domain and its coefficient of determination was 0.97. The internal quality of apple according to storage time is predictable using developed PVDF sensor and acoustical parameters defined in this study.

본 연구는 PVDF(polyvinylidene flouride) 압전센서를 이용하여 사과의 내부 품질을 평가할 수 있는지를 고찰하기 위하여 수행되었다. 사과 표면에 기계적 충격을 가한 후 반대편에 부착된 PVDF 압전센서를 이용하여 사과를 투과한 음파신호를 수신하였다. 투과 음파신호를 분석하기 위한 음향 파라미터들로서 시간영역에서는 신호의 rise time(RT), ring down count(RC), energy(EN), event duration(ED), peak amplitude(PA)를 이용하였으며 주파수영역에서는 spectral density(SD)를 각각 이용하였다. 사과의 저장 기간이 증가함에 따라 응답신호의 크기는 감소하였으며 중심 주파수도 저주파수로 변화하였다. 분석에 사용된 음향 파라미터들은 사과의 저장 기간과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 음향 파라미터들과 저장기간에 대하여 다중회귀분석을 수행한 결과 결정계수가 0.97로 매우 높게 나타났다. 따라서 PVDF 압전센서와 음향 파라미터를 이용하여 사과의 저장기간에 따른 내부 품질 평가가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
