| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An attenuated total reflection Terahertz (ATR-THz) spectrometer was used for collecting THz spectra of agricultural products, food materials, and liquid solutions. By using ATR method, THz spectra of these high-moisture materials were obtained successfully. As a result of spectral analysis, these THz spectra reflects information about water mainly. However, ATR-THz spectrometer used in this study could not measure THz band of hydrogen bonding, namely 6.5 THz band, directly.
