Detection of Storage Age Adulteration in Khao Dawk Mali 105 Rice using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Detection of Storage Age Adulteration in Khao Dawk Mali 105 Rice  using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the adulteration of Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice based on storage age using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) with Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-NIR) in the wavenumber range of 12,500 – 4,000 cm-1 (800 – 2,500 nm). Storage duration significantly impacts the quality of cooked rice. This research is divided into two parts: 1) to investigate the feasibility of separating rice according to storage age (1, 2, and 3 years) using the best model created by an Ensemble method combined with Second Derivative, which achieved an accuracy of 96.3%. 2) To investigate adulteration based on storage age by adulterating at 0% (all 2- and 3-year-old rice), 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% (all 1-year-old rice). The best model was created using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) combined with Smoothing + Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC), with coefficients of determination (r²), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), bias, and prediction ability (RPD) values of 0.92, 8.6%, 0.9%, and 3.6 respectively. This demonstrates that the adulteration model can be applied to separate rice by storage age (1, 2, and 3 years). Additionally, the color values of rice with different storage ages show differences in L* and b* values.

Objective

โรงงานผู้ผลิตข้าวพบปัญหาการปลอมปนของข้าวสารที่มีอายุการเก็บรักษาต่างกัน โดยทั่วไปการคัดแยกการปลอมปนจะใช้วิธีมาตรฐานโดยการหุงข้าว จากนั้นนำข้าวหุงสุกไปวัดเนื้อสัมผัสเพื่อแยกอายุของข้าว ซึ่งใช้เวลาและเป็นการทำลายตัวอย่างและเกิดความล่าช้าในการตรวจสอบคุณภาพข้าวสาร งานวิจัยนี้ใช้เทคนิคเนียร์อินฟราเรดสเปกโทรสโกปี (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, NIRS) ในการตรวจสอบการปลอมปนของข้าวสารพันธุ์ขาวดอกมะลิ 105 (KDML 105) ที่อายุการเก็บรักษาต่างกันเพื่อแก้ไขปัญหาดังกล่าว

Distributed Control System for Boiler in Sugar Plants

This cooperative education report presents a project for developing a Distributed Control System (DCS) for boilers in a sugar factory. The objective is to enhance the control system for boilers 1-8 to operate cohesively within the DCS framework provided by ABB, utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software. The overall functionality of the system involves creating a control program that begins with the utilization of bagasse, a byproduct from the sugar extraction process, as fuel for the boiler. The program manages various operations of the boiler, including the intake of air into the combustion chamber, the internal functioning of the boiler, and the treatment of flue gases before their release into the atmosphere. The project encompasses the development of the DCS program, the design and creation of HMI display graphics, the study and design of the boiler control system, the documentation of the project, and the control processes utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software, culminating in the operational outcomes.
