맥주보리 품질에서 중요한 성분인 단백질함량을 NIRS를 이용하여 신원하고 정확하게 분석하기 위해 최적의 검양식 작성에 관한 일련의 시험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Micro-Kjeldahl법에 의해 분석한 단백질함량을 이용하여 작성된 NIRS의 검양식중 2095 /1941/ 2282/ 2086nm 파장으로 구성된 검양식에서 결정계수(R2 )가 0.95로서 가장 높았다. 2. NIRS의 2095/1941/2282/2086nm 파장으로 구성된 검양식으로 '92년도에 생산된 18품종을 분석한 결과 SDD가 0.47, SEP가 0.43, r이 0.95로서 매우 우수하였으며 평균 단백질함량도 Micro-Kjeldahl법의 10.25%와 동일하였다. 3. NIRS의 2095/1941/2282/2086nm 파장으로 구성된 검양식으로 '93년에 생산된 미지의 시료 31품종을 Micro-Kjeldahl법과 비교분석한 결과 SDD가 0.69, SEP가 0.67, r(simple correlation)이 0.91이었다. 4. 본 시험에서 작성된 NIRS의 검양식을 이용할 경우 Micro-Kjeldahl 분석치와 r값이 0.91로서 고도의 유의성이 인정되었으며 bias값을 보정해 주면 단백질함량의 평균값이 Micro-Kjeldahl법과 매우 근접된 값을 얻을 수 있어서 맥주보리 육종의 초기세대에서 단기간 다량의 계통을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy(NIRS) has been used as a tool for the rapid, accurate, protein assay of malting barley. NIRS used in this study was filter type instruments, Neotec 102. The objective of this study was to obtain the best calibration equation, for the rapid, ease and accurate protein content analysis of malting barley using NIRS system. The optimum wavelength for protein content analysis used NIRS were 2095nm, 2095/1941nm, 2095/1941/2282nm, 2905/1941/2282/2086nm, respectively. Mean protein content with this calibration equation in NIRS analysis was 10.59%, while 10.60% in Micro-Kjeldahl one. The range of protein content in Micro-Kjeldahl was 8.66~12.66% and that in NIRS was 8.80~12.35%. When 18 other varieties produced in 1992 were analysed with 2095nm, 2095/1941nm, 2095/1941/2282nm, 2095/1941/2282/2086nm equation, standard deviation of difference (SDD)and standard error of performence(SEP) and R2 values were 0.47, 0.43, 0.95, respectively. Both the mean protein content by Micro-Kjeldahl and by NIRS was 10.25%. With this equation, analysied 31 varities produced in 1993, SDD and SEP and r values were 0.69, 0.67, 0.91, respectively, and that bias value was 0.65. In this analysis, mean protein content by Micro-Kjeldahl was 10.17% and by NIRS was 10.81%. The range of protein content in Micro-Kjeldahl was 7.58~14.29%, What that in NIRS was 8.63~13.93%. After adjusted bias in the best calibration equation, mean protein content of Micro-Kjeldahl was 10.17% and that of NIRS was 10.09%, without variance of SDD, SEP and r values.
