The invention relates to the technical field of analysis and detection, in particular to a method for identifying honey varieties based on an
attenuated total reflection terahertz
dielectric spectrum. The method comprises the steps of at first conducting terahertz scanning on a honey sample of which variety is known and obtaining a terahertz time-domain
spectrogram, then transforming the terahertz time-domain
spectrogram into a terahertz
frequency domain spectrogram through Fourier transformation, conducting calculation to obtain the terahertz
dielectric spectrum of the honey sample of which variety is known and conducting
principal component analysis according to the terahertz
dielectric spectrum to establish a PCA-DA model of the honey sample of which type is known; finally adopting the same method to conduct detection on honey sample to be tested to obtain a terahertz
dielectric spectrum, then conducting identification on the terahertz
dielectric spectrum according to the PCA-DA model, and the variety identified by the PCA-DA model is the variety of the honey of which the variety is unknown. According to the method for identifying honey varieties based on the
attenuated total reflection terahertz
dielectric spectrum, only terahertz spectrum of the unknown honey needs to be collected, and then identification can be conducted through the model; meanwhile, the method for identifying honey varieties based on the
attenuated total reflection terahertz dielectric spectrum has the characteristics and advantages that detection speed is high, operation is convenient, no
chemical agent is polluted, both time and labor are saved, and accuracy is high.
