Study of Moisture of Rice by Using Reflection Spectroscopy

Abstract:

The objective of this research was to study the relationship between the spectrum intensity and moisture content of milled rice by using Reflection Spectroscopy at the wavelength between 340-800 nm. The results showed that different rice species with different ages have different spectrum patterns. The knowledge on the optical properties can be applied to determine the moisture content and the mixing ratio of each type of rice in a rice mixture.
