Application of Terahertz Waves to Food Science

Terahertz (THz) wave has a unique character that other range waves do not have, and its application is widely studied. Technology relating THz wave, such as generation, detection and application, remarkably develops in recent. Many studies about application of THz wave to food analysis have been performed. This review explains the basics of THz wave as well as application of THz wave to food analysis. Moreover, statistical method in treatment of THz spectrum is reported.
