Abstract

Hyperspectral reflectance imaging technology was used to predict internal quality of cherry tomatoes with the spectral range of 400-1000 nm. Partial least square (PLS) regression method was used to predict firmness, sugar content, and acid content. The PLS models were developed with several preprocessing methods, such as normalization, standard normal variate (SNV), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), and derivative of Savitzky Golay. The performance of the prediction models were investigated to find the best combination of the preprocessing and PLS models. The coefficients of determination ($R^{2}_{p}$) and standard errors of prediction (SEP) for the prediction of firmness, sugar content, and acid content of cherry tomatoes from green to red ripening stages were 0.876 and 1.875kgf with mean of normalization, 0.823 and $0.388^{\circ}Bx$ with maximum of normalization, and 0.620 and 0.208% with maximum of normalization, respectively.

초분광영상을 이용하여 방울토마토의 전체 면에서 반사스펙트럼을 획득하였으며 숙도 등급(GN-RD)에 따른 스펙트럼의 차이를 관찰하였다. 방울토마토의 반사스펙트럼에서 클로로필에 의한 675 nm 영역의 흡수가 관찰되었고, 당과 수분의 영향으로 알려진 840 nm, 970 nm 영역에서 흡수가 관찰되었다. 특히 GN에서 RD 등급으로 숙도가 진행될수록 평균 스펙트럼의 경우 반사율이 낮아지는 경향이 관찰되었다. 총 8개의 전처리를 이용하여 전 숙도 등급의 시료에 적용한 PLS 회귀 분석에서 내부품질들 중 경도 예측모델이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 이때 전처리는 평균값을 이용한 정규화이었으며 결정계수는 0.876, 그리고 SEP은 1.875kgf이었다. 당도의 경우는 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 결정계수가 0.823과 SEP $0.388^{\circ}Bx$로 나타났으며, 산함량의 경우 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 0.620의 결정계수와 0.208%의 SEP이 확인되었다. 상품성을 고려한 PK, LR, RD 등급의 시료에서 PLS 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과 내부품질 중 전체의 숙도 등급의 시료를 사용하여 예측한 결과보다는 전체적으로 다소 낮은 예측결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 내부 품질 중 경도에서 가장 높은 예측모델이 확인되었으며, 전처리는 일정 범위를 이용한 정규화이고 0.679의 결정계수와 $0.976^{\circ}Bx$의 SEP이 확인되었다. 당도는 최대값을 이용한 정규화에서 0.586의 결정계수와 0.546kgf의 SEP의 결과를 보였으며 산 함량은 Savitzky Golay의 2차 미분에서 0.547의 결정계수와 0.188%의 SEP을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 최근 연구 활용이 시작되고 있는 최신기술인 초분광 반사영상을 이용하여 방울토마토 내부품질인 경도, 당도, 산 함량 예측의 가능성을 확인하였다. 초분광 영상은 영상처리를 이용하여 외부의 결함 및 외부 착색도등도 측정할 수 있으므로 본 연구에서 수행한 내부품질 측정과 융합하여 복합적인 농산물 품질 선별기 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
