Development of Novel Detection Device for Chemical Properties of Dioscorea hispida

Abstract:

The potential of machine vision application in the determination of alkaloid in Dioscorea hispida rhizome was explored. A camera vision system used in this research is chroma meter CR-400 made by Konica Minolta. The first component is the hardware component that functions as an image acquisitioned for the system. The second component is the software part which converts reading obtained from the hardware. From the design review, the images from a variety of harvested of Dioscorea hispida will be captured and the reading in L*a*b color space were converted. The prediction was also made on the statistical relationship between Hue and dioscorine level in the fruit. With the same rhizomes, 40 grams was selected for chemical analysis at a laboratory for the programme of East Coastal Economic Regions Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Malaysia (ECER-KPT UniSZA). The samples were selected from 12 portions of 2 plants (I and B) collected from Kampung Kudat, Ajil, Terengganu, Malaysia. The development on this study is grouped as non destructive method to determine the dioscorine content which is one of the alkaloid components in the rhizome of Dioscorea hispida.
