Near-infrared imaging spectroscopy based on sugar absorption band for melons
2002
Tsuta, M. | Sugiyama, J. | Sagara, Y.
A method for visualizing the sugar content in the flesh of melons was developed. This method was based on the sugar absorption band in the near-infrared (NIR) region to avoid bias caused by the color information of a sample. NIR spectroscopic analysis revealed that each of the two second-derivative absorbances at 874 and 902 nm had a high correlation with the sugar content of melons. A high-resolution cooled charged couple device camera with band-pass filters, which included the above two wavelengths, was used to capture the spectral absorption image of a half-cut melon. A color distribution map of the sugar content on the surface of the melon was constructed by applying the NIR spectroscopy theory to each pixel of the acquired images.
