Non-destructive testing of low-density and organic foreign bodies is the main challenge for food safety control. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and imaging technologies were applied to explore the feasibility of detection for insect foreign bodies in the finishing tea products. THz-TDS of tea leaves and foreign bodies of insects demonstrated significant differences in terms of time domain and frequency signals in the range of 0.3–1.0 THz. These signals were corrected by the use of adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares (AirPLS), asymmetric least squares (AsLS), and baseline estimation and de-noising using sparsity (BEADS) for reducing baseline drift and enhancing effective spectral information. The K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) models showed the best performance after AirPLS correction with the prediction accuracy of 98 and 100%, respectively. In addition, the locations and outlines of insect bodies could be clearly presented via the THz-TDS image. These results suggested that THz-TDS spectroscopy and imaging provide an alternative tool for the detection of insect foreign bodies in finishing tea products.
