Abstract

The honey samples harvested in 1996, 1997, and 1998 were used for calibration and validation. NIR spectra were obtained using NIR spectrometer and quartz glass device with gold coating diffuser. Multiple linear regression and partial least square were used for calibrations. The correlation coefficient (RSQ) and standard error of prediction (SEP) obtained for moisture were 0.997 and 0.1%, respectively. The RSQ and SEP for fructose and glucose were 0.926 and 0.951%, and the SEP were 0.54% and 0.52% respectively. The validation results for sucrose, maltose, HMF definition, and acidity of honey were considered to be sufficient for practical use RSQ and SEP for SCIR were 0.950 and $1.08%_{\circ}$, respectively. These results are indications of the rapid determination of purity of the honey through NIR analysis.

다양한 품질특성을 가지는 230점의 벌꿀시료를 선발하여 품질평가 요소에 대한 각각의 검량식을 작성하였으며, 검량식 평가를 위한 벌꿀시료는 50점을 사용하였다. 근적외선 스펙트럼에 대한 수학적 처리를 하여 검량식을 얻었으며 회귀분석방법은 PLS법이 가장 적합하였다. 이화학적 분석과 NIR을 이용해 얻은 분석치를 비교한 결과 수분의 RSQ는 0.997, SEP는 0.10%로 매우 신뢰성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. fructose와 glucose는 RSQ가 0.926, 0.951로 나타났으며 SEP는 각각 0.54%, 0.52%이었으며, sucrose와 maltose는 SEP가 각각 0.25%, 0.22%로 나타났다. HMF의 SEP는 2.96 mg/kg이었으며 산도는 SEP가 0.73 meq/kg이었다. 탄소동위원소비율은 SEP가 $1.08{\textperthousand}$로 오차가 컸으나 RSQ값이 0.950으로 비교적 안정된 결과를 얻을 수 있어 근적외선 분광분석법으로도 꽃꿀의 순도를 판별할 수 있는 가능성이 제시되었다.
