실시간 온라인 석탄 성상분석은 효율적인 석탄 화력발전소 운영을 위해 반드시 필요한 기술이다. 온라인 석탄 성상분석 기술 개발을 위해 다변량 분석기법을 사용하여 확산 반사방식을 통해 얻은 석탄의 근적외선 스펙트럼과 석탄 성상(%)[수분, 회분, 휘발분, 고정탄소, 탄소, 수소, 질소, 산소, 황], 발열량(kcal/kg)간의 관계를 조사하였다. 현재 석탄 화력발전소에서 사용하는 40여종의 석탄에서 얻은 근적외선 스펙트럼을 전처리[2차 미분, MSC(multiplicative scatter correction)]를 통해 물리적 영향을 최소화하여 석탄 성상과의 관계를 PLS(partial least squares regression), PCA(principal component analysis)의 chemometrics 기법을 이용하여 정량 분석하였다. 분석 결과 본 기법을 통해 근적외선 스펙트럼으로 석탄 성상 중 회분, 질소 그리고 황을 제외한 나머지 성분에 대해 분석이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 PC(PLS component)의 값을 이용하여 석탄의 종류를 구별한 다음, 다변량 통계기법을 사용하여 정량 분석한 결과, 전체 석탄을 이용해서 정량 분석한 결과에 비해 비교적 좋은 결과를 얻었다. 수분, 발열량이 실시간으로 분석 가능하여 보다 효율적인 석탄 화력발전소 운영이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

In order to find out an alternative way of analysis of food waste compost, the Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy(NIRS) was used for the compost assessment because the technics has been known as non-detructive, cost-effective and rapid method. One hundred thirty six compost samples were collected from Incheon food waste compost factory at Namdong Indurial Complex. The samples were analyzed for nitrogen, organic matter (OM), ash, P, and K using Kjedahl, ignition method, and acid extraction with spectrophotometer, respectively. The samples were scanned using FOSS NIRSystem of Model 6500 scanning mono-chromator with wavelength from $400\~2,400nm$ at 2nm interval. Modified partial Least Squares(MPLS) was applied to develop the most reliable calibration model between NIR spectra and sample components such as nitrogen, ash, OM, P, and K. The regression was validated using validation set(n=30). Multiple correlation coefficient($R^2$) and standard error of prediction(SEP) for nitrogen, ash, organic matter, OM/N ratio, P and K were 0.87, 0.06, 0.72, 1.07, 0.68, 1.05, 0.89, 0.31, 0.77, 0.06, and 0.64, 0.07, respectively. The results of this experiment indicates that NIRS is reliable analytical method to assess some components of feed waste compost, also suggests that feasibility of NIRS can be Justified in case of various sample collection around the year.

The objectives of this study were to develop models to predict quality parameters of Korean bee-honeys by visible and NIR spectroscopic technique. Two kinds of bee-honey fronl acacia and polyflower sources were tested in this study. The honeys were harvested in the spring of 2000 and stored in the storage facility at 20$^{\circ}C$ during experiments. Total of 394 samples of honey were analyzed. Reflectance spectra, moisture contents, ash, invert sugar, sucrose, F/G (fructose/glucose) ratio, HMF (hydroxymethyl furfural), and C12/C13 ratio of honeys were measured. The average values for the tested honeys were 19.9% of moisture contents, 0.12% of ash, 68.4% of invert sugar, 5.7% of sucrose, 1.27 of F/G(fructose/glucose) ratio, 14.4 mg/kg of HMF, and -19.1 of C12/C13 ratio. A spectrophotometer, equipped with a single-beam scanning monochromator (NIR Systems, Model 6500, USA) and a horizontal setup module, was used to collect reflectance data from honey. The reflectance spectra were measured in wavelength ranges of 400∼2,498 nm. with 2 nm of interval. Thirty-two repetitive scans were averaged, transformed to log(1/Reflectance), and then were stored in a microcomputer file, forming one spectrum per measurement. A sample cell and reflectance plate were made to hold honey samples constantly. Spectra of honey samples were divided into a calibration set and a validation set. The calibration set was used during model development, and the validation set was used to predict quality parameters from unknown spectra. The PLS(Partial Least Square) models were developed to predict the quality parameters of honeys. The first and the second derivatives of raw spectra were also used to develop the models with proper smoothing gap. The MSC (multiplicative scatter correction) and the SNV & Dtr.(standard normal variate and detranding) preprocessing were applied to all spectra to minimize sample-to-sample light scatter differences. The PLS models showed good relationships between predicted and measured quality parameters of honeys in the wavelength range of 1100∼2200 nm. However, the PLS analysis was not good enough to predict HMF of honeys.

본 연구는 기존에 사용되고 있는 음주측정기의 부정확성과 비위생적인 면을 개선하기 위한 비침습적인 알코올 측정기를 개발하기 위해 근적외선분광분석법을 적용하였다. 먼저 근적외선분광분석법으로 혈중 알코올을 측정하기 위한 전 단계로 순수한 알코올을 0.01~0.1%의 농도로 함유한 검체를 측정하였다. MLR(multiple linear regression)방법을 통한 통계적 처리에서 1360, 2256, 2012, 그리고 1358 nm의 네 파장을 선택했을 때 SEC(standard error of calibration)은 0.0039, multiple R은 0.99를 나타냈다. 혈중 알코올 시료 측정시 MLR을 적용했을 때 2266과 2326 nm 파장을 선택했을 경우 가장 유의성 있는 결과를 나타냈다. 또 다른 통계적 방법인 PLSR(partial least squares regression)의 경우 이차 미분 스펙트럼의 1100~1340, 1500~1796, 그리고 2064~2300 nm의 범위에서 4개의 factor를 사용했을 때 0.030의 SEP값을 나타냈다. 이로서 근적외선분광분석법을 이용하여 혈액 중의 알코올을 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

The efficiency of the luminal fermentation process influences overall efficiency of luminal production, animal health and reproduction. Ruminant production systems have a significant impact on the global environment, as well. Animal wastes contribute to pollution of the environment as ammonia volatilized to the air and nitrate leached to ground water. Microbial protein synthesis in the rumen satisfies a large proportion of the protein requirements of animals. Quantifying the microbial synthesis is possible by using markers for lumen bacteria and protozoa such as nucleic acids, purine bases, some specific amino acids, or by isotopic $^{15}N,^{32}P,\;and\;^{35}S$ labelled feeds. All those methods require cannulated animals, they are time-consuming and some methods are very expensive as well. Many attempts have been made to find an alternative method for indirect measurement of microbial synthesis in intact animals. The present investigations aimed to assess possibilities of NIRS for prediction of purine nitrogen excretion and ruminal microbial nitrogen synthesis by NIR spectra of urine. Urine samples were collected from 12 growing sheep,6 of them male, and 6- female. The sheep were included in feeding experiment. The ration consisted of sorghum silage and protein supplements -70:30 on dry matter basis. The protein supplements were chosen to differ in protein degradability. The urine samples were collected daily in a vessel containing $60m{\ell}$ 10% sulphuric acid to reduce pH below 3 and diluted with tap water to 4 liters. Samples were stored in plastic bottles and frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$ until chemical and NIRS analysis. The urine samples were analyzed for purine derivates - allantoin, uric acid, xantine and hypoxantine content. Microbial nitrogen synthesis in the lumen was calculated according to Chen and Gomes, 1995. Transmittance urine spectra with sample thickness 1mm were obtained by NIR System 6500 spectrophotometer in the spectral range 1100-2500nm. The calibration was performed using ISI software and PLS regression, respectively. The following statistical results of NIRS calibration for prediction of purine derivatives and microbial protein synthesis were obtained.(Table Omitted). The result of estimation of purine nitrogen excretion and microbial protein synthesis by NIR spectra of urine showed accuracy, adequate for rapid evaluation of microbial protein synthesis for a large number of animals and different diets. The results indicate that the advantages of the NIRS technology can be extended into animal physiological studies. The fast and low cost NIRS analyses could be used with no significant loss of accuracy when microbial protein synthesis in the lumen and the microbial protein flow in the duodenum are to be assessed by NIRS.

본 연구에서는 유통현장에서 실시간으로 쇠고기 신선도를 측정하기 위해 가시광선-근적외선 반사 스펙트럼을 이용하여 쇠고기 신선도에 영향을 미치는 인자와 설정된 저장기간에 대하여 예측 모델을 개발하고 검증하였다. 쇠고기 시료는 총 216개를 사용하였으며 0-14일의 기간 동안 2일 간격으로 가시광선-근적외선 반사 스펙트럼을 측정한 후, 쇠고기의 신선도에 영향을 미치는 인자인 총균수, pH, VBN, TMA, TBA값을 공인된 방법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 예측모델은 다중회귀분석 방법과 최적 변수 선택이 가능한 stepwise 방법을 이용하여 개발하였으며, 예측모델의 선정은 결정계수, 오차, RPD를 이용하였다. 예측모델의 검증은 미지의 시료를 이용하였으며 그 결과 결정계수, 오차, RPD는 총균수에서 각각 0.74, 0.64, 2.75 Log CFU/$cm^2$, VBN은 각각 0.73, 1.45, 2.00 mg%, TMA는 각각 0.70, 0.19, 2.58 mg%, TBA값은 각각 0.73, 0.13, 2.77 mg MA/kg로 비교적 안정된 예측성능을 보여 주었다. 저장기간에 따른 예측모델의 검증결과는 결정계수, 오차, RPD가 각각 0.77, 1.94일, 2.53으로 실험 시 저장기간이 2일 간격인 점을 고려할 때, 비교적 높은 정밀도를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있다. pH의 예측성능은 결정계수, 오차, RPD가 각각 0.43, 0.10, 1.10로 다른 신선도 인자에 비해 낮은 결과를 보여 주었다. 본 연구에서는 가시광선-근적외선 분광분석법을 이용하여 쇠고기 신선도의 비파괴 평가에 대한 가능성을 제시하였으나 유통현장에서 적용을 위해서는 보다 많은 시료의 확보를 통한 예측모델의 신뢰성 향상과 stepwise방법으로 선정된 파장 영역을 기본으로 하는 부분최소자승법, 인공지능 등의 다양한 알고리즘의 적용을 통한 성능개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Rapid cost-effective methods of measuring wood quality are extremely important to tree improvement programs where it is necessary to test large numbers of trees. Non-destructive sampling of a forest can be achieved by using increment cores generally removed at breast height. At CSIRO Forestry and Forest Products methods for the rapid, non-destructive measurement of wood properties and wood chemistry based on increment core samples have been developed. In this paper the application of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to the prediction of a range solid wood properties, including density, longitudinal modulus of elasticity (E$\sub$L/) and microfibril angle (MFA), is described. Experiments conducted on individual species (Eucalyptus delegatensis and Pinus radiata), the two species combined and a number of mixed species from several genera are reported. NIR spectra were obtained from the radial/longitudinal face of each sample and used to develop calibrations for the measured physical properties. When the individual species were used the relationships between laboratory determined data and NIR fitted data were good in all cases. Coefficients of determination (R$^2$) ranging from 0.77 for MFA to 0.93 for stick density were obtained for E. delegatensis and R$^2$ ranging from 0.68 for MFA to 0.94 for strip density were obtained for P. radiata. The calibration statistics for the combined E. delegatensis and P. radiata samples were similar to those found for the individual species. As these results indicated that it might be possible to produce general calibrations based on samples from a number of species of a single genus or samples from a number of different genera, a wide range of species was subsequently tested. Good relationships were obtained for both density and E$\sub$L/. These calibrations had R$^2$ that were slightly lower than those determined using individual species and standard errors that were higher. The mixed species calibrations, when applied to the E. delegatensis and P. radiata sample sets, provided good estimates of density (stick and strip) and E$\sub$L/. The results demonstrated that a mixed species calibration, that encompasses wide variation in terms of, wood anatomy, chemistry and physical properties, could be used to rank trees. Experiments reported in this paper demonstrate that solid wood properties can be estimated by NIR spectroscopy. The method offers a rapid and non-destructive alternative to traditional methods of analysis and is applicable to large-scale non-destructive forest resource assessment, and to tree breeding and silvicultural programs.

The wine industry requires practical methods for objectively measuring the composition of both red wine grapes on the vine to determine optimal harvest time; and of freshly harvested grapes for efficient allocation to vinery process streams for particular red wine products, and to determine payment of contract grapegrowers. To be practical for industry application these methods must be rapid, inexpensive and accurate. In most cases this restricts the analyses available to measurement of TSS (total soluble solids, predominantly sugars) by refractometry and pH by electropotentiometry. These two parameters, however, do not provide a comprehensive compositional characterization for the purpose of winemaking. The concentration of anthocyanin pigment in red wine grapes is an accepted indicator of potential wine quality and price. However, routine analysis for total anthocyanins is not considered as a practical option by the wider wine industry because of the high cost and slow turnaround time of this multi-step wet chemical laboratory analysis. Recent work by this ${group}^{l,2}$ has established the capability of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to provide rapid, accurate and simultaneous measurement of total anthocyanins, TSS and pH in red wine grapes. The analyses may be carried out equally well using either research grade scanning spectrometers or much simpler reduced spectral range portable diode-array based instrumentation. We have recently expanded on this work by collecting thousands of red wine grape samples in Australia. The sample set spans two vintages (1999 and 2000), five distinct geographical winegrowing regions and three main red wine grape varieties used in Australia (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot). Homogenized grape samples were scanned in diffuse reflectance mode on a FOSE NIR Systems6500 spectrometer and subject to laboratory analysis by the traditional methods for total anthocyanins, TSS and pH. We report here an analysis of the correlations between the NIR spectra and the laboratory data using standard chemometric algorithms within The Unscrambler software package. In particular, various subsets of the total data set are considered in turn to elucidate the effects of vintage, geographical area and grape variety on the measurement of grape composition by NIR spectroscopy. The relative ability of discrete calibrations to predict within and across these differences is considered. The results are then used to propose an optimal calibration strategy for red wine grape analysis.

This research was carried out to investigate the possibility of real time rice milling ratio measurement using the spectral reflection characteristics. In this study, various methods were compared such as \circled1 using the whiteness meter, \circled2 using the colorimeter, \circled3 using the Visible and the NIR reflection spectrum. The samples were milled in the domain of 84~96% by 0.5% interval classified by milling ratio. The NMG treatment method required about 20 minutes to determine the milled ratio and r2 was 0.0028 to 0.7959 that was very low. In case of whiteness meter, r2 was high but speed of measurement was 5 minutes that was very low. Measurement with the colorimeter required about 5 minutes and r2 was 0.60 to 0.85 that was low. The reflection spectrum were measured in the range of 400~2,500nm with 2nm interval and the MLR model with six-wavelength obtained from first derivative of spectra gave the best results(r2 = 0.967, SEP = 0.729%)

Beef samples of loin eye area from New Zealand, USA and three quality grades of Hanwoo were analyzed using near infrared spectrophotometer with reference values from laboratory optical Chromameter to determine effective spectrum range and mathematical treatment for determination of color values. $R^2s$ of prediction models were not improved much by calibrating with whole light range (400~2500 nm) compared to using visible range (400~1100 nm). Standard errors of calibration and prediction were influenced by possible bias due to sampling non-homogeneous sample sources. However, partial differentiation in the first order was more stable against sampling biases than second derivatives of the spectra. Lightness value was little different among the five sample sources of beef. Beef samples from USA were brighter and more reddish than beefs of Hanwoo or from New Zealand (p<0.05). Yellowness of USA beef was the highest followed by beef from New Zealand, which was also higher than Hanwoo beefs of three quality grades (p<0.05).
