In order to find out an alternative way of analysis of food waste compost, the Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy(NIRS) was used for the compost assessment because the technics has been known as non-detructive, cost-effective and rapid method. One hundred thirty six compost samples were collected from Incheon food waste compost factory at Namdong Indurial Complex. The samples were analyzed for nitrogen, organic matter (OM), ash, P, and K using Kjedahl, ignition method, and acid extraction with spectrophotometer, respectively. The samples were scanned using FOSS NIRSystem of Model 6500 scanning monochromator with wavelength from 400~2,400㎚ at 2nm interval. Modified partial Least Squares(MPLS) was applied to develop the most reliable calibration model between NIR spectra and sample components such as nitrogen, ash, OM, P, and K. The regression was validated using validation set(n=30). Multiple correlation coefficient(R²) and standard error of prediction(SEP) for nitrogen, ash, organic matter, OM/N ratio, P and K were 0.87, 0.06, 0.72, 1.07, 0.68, 1.05, 0.89, 0.31, 0.77, 0.06, and 0.64, 0.07, respectively. The results of this experiment indicates that NIRS is reliable analytical method to assess some components of feed waste compost, also suggests that feasibility of NIRS can be justified in case of various sample collection around the year.

음식물쓰레기 퇴비사용에 따른 감 과실의 특성 변화는 경도, 당도 등이 증가하였으며, 상주 둥시의 경우 색이 더욱 밝아지고 과육이 황색빛을 많이 띄게 되고, 갑주백목의 경우 색이 다소 어두워지는 반면 붉은색을 많이 띄는 특징을 나타내었다. Total phenol 함량과 가용성 탄닌은 음식물쓰레기 및 음식물 퇴비 처리에 의해 감소하는 경향을 나타내어 떫은맛이 다소 줄어들리라 판단되었고, 비타민 C의 함량이 대조구에 비해 증가하여 상큼한 맛을 더 많이
