Abstract:
A fermentation state monitoring apparatus includes: a terahertz wave generation element that outputs inspection light using a terahertz wave to a fermented food under fermentation in a sealed product container; a terahertz wave detection element that detects return light of the inspection light reflected by the fermented food in the product container; and a determination unit that determines a fermentation progress of the fermented food based on an index value including a reflectance of the return light with respect to the inspection light or an absorption coefficient of the return light with respect to the inspection light.

Abstract:
The drug evaluation device obtains, by an attenuated reflection method using a terahertz wave, an evaluation absorption spectrum for a frequency with respect to a liquid to be evaluated. When crystalline particles are suspended in a liquid, an absorption peak having a peak area corresponding to the amount of suspension appears in its absorption spectrum. Therefore, whether or not and by what ratio crystalline particles are suspended in the liquid can be determined according to whether or not the absorption peak exists and the peak area. When amorphous particles are suspended in the liquid, the baseline of its absorption spectrum lowers according to the ratio of amorphous particles suspended in the liquid. Therefore, whether or not and by what ratio amorphous particles are suspended in the liquid can be determined according to the lowering amount of the baseline.
Abstract:
A terahertz wave attenuated total reflection spectroscopic method, includes: a first step of disposing a measurement target of which a volume is changed during a measurement period on a reflection surface; and a second step of acquiring data including a plurality of detection results respectively corresponding to a plurality of times separated from each other during the measurement period by allowing a terahertz wave to be incident on the reflection surface from a side opposite to the measurement target and by detecting the terahertz wave reflected on the reflection surface, during the measurement period. In the second step, a state in which a substantially constant pressure is applied to the measurement target disposed on the reflection surface is maintained during the measurement period.
