The invention discloses a new rice and old rice quality detection device and detection method based on a visual light, near-
infrared and terahertz integrated spectrum technology. The detection device is composed of a 
halogen light source, a visual light-near-
infrared hyperspectrum sensor, a transmission-type terahertz time-domain spectrum 
system, a rotation-type sample carrying device, a groove-type sample table, an electronic control detection 
rocker arm, electronic 
control sample table rocker arms, a computer, a 
data acquisition card, a control module, a 
mode switching button, a shading hood, an instrument rack and the like. When detection is conducted, visual light-near-
infrared hyperspectra and terahertz spectra of a sample are collected through the 
mode switching button. An optimal characteristic 
wave band combination of the related visual light, near-infrared and terahertz integrated spectra which are stored in experiments is extracted and substituted into a related quantitative detection model, and qualitative results of the related new rice and old rice quality of the rice sample and related 
protein and 
amino acid are obtained and output. Accordingly, limitation generated when the new rice and old rice quality is detected through a single spectrum technique is broken through, and the detection device and detection method can be used for real-time storage quality detection on warehouse rice.
