Description

本発明は、クロロフィルと、ポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドの少なくとも一方とを含む植物に由来する材料の区分を判別する基準の作成方法、プログラム、および装置に関する。 The present invention relates to methods, programs, and devices for creating criteria for discriminating plant-derived materials, including chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenols or terpenoids.

たばこ原料には、空気乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、バーレー種、および在来種)、強制火力乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、黄色種)、および天日乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、オリエント種)等の原料区分が存在するが、目視にて区分を判別することは不可能である。たばこ原料区分を判別する方法として、例えばたばこ原料に可視光を照射したときの反射率に基づいてたばこ原料区分を判別する方法が提案されている(特許文献1)。一方、蛍光指紋情報を用いて食品材料等の鑑別や定量を行うことが知られている(非特許文献1)。 Tobacco raw materials include air-dried tobacco raw materials (eg, Burley and native varieties), forced-heat-dried tobacco raw materials (eg, yellow varieties), and sun-dried tobacco raw materials (eg, Orient species). Although it exists, it is impossible to visually distinguish the classification. As a method for discriminating the tobacco raw material classification, for example, a method for discriminating the tobacco raw material classification based on the reflectance when the tobacco raw material is irradiated with visible light has been proposed (Patent Document 1). On the other hand, it is known to discriminate and quantify food materials and the like using fluorescent fingerprint information (Non-Patent Document 1).

たばこ原料や茶原料等の、クロロフィルとポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドの少なくとも一方とを含む植物に由来する材料は乾燥等の加工工程や保存状態によって色調が変化するため、目視による区分の判別は困難である。特許文献1に記載されたような可視光を用いた当該材料の区分の判別方法は簡便であるが、反射データが酷似する場合は判別能力に問題が生じうる。実際にたばこ原料の黄色種とオリエント種において得られる反射率データは酷似するので(特許文献1図2)、両者の判別は困難である。かかる事情を鑑み、本発明はクロロフィルおよびポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドの少なくとも一方とを含む植物に由来する材料の区分を精度よく判別するための基準および判別方法、プログラム、および装置を提供することを課題とする。 It is difficult to visually distinguish the classification of plant-derived materials containing chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenols or terpenoids, such as tobacco raw materials and tea raw materials, because the color tone changes depending on the processing process such as drying and the storage state. The method of discriminating the classification of the material using visible light as described in Patent Document 1 is simple, but if the reflected data are very similar, a problem may occur in the discriminating ability. Since the reflectance data actually obtained for the yellow and Orient tobacco raw materials are very similar (Patent Document 1, FIG. 2), it is difficult to distinguish between the two. In view of such circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a standard, a discrimination method, a program, and an apparatus for accurately discriminating a material derived from a plant containing chlorophyll and at least one of a polyphenol or a terpenoid. ..

1. 1. Method of Creating Criteria The criteria for discriminating between chlorophyll and a plant-derived material containing at least one of polyphenols or terpenoids is to obtain fluorescent fingerprint information of the material and at least one of the polyphenols or terpenoids in the material. The abundance of the component derived from chlorophyll and the component derived from at least one of the above-mentioned material classification, polyphenol or terpenoid, and the chlorophyll-derived component obtained by analyzing using fluorescent fingerprint information reflecting the abundance of the chlorophyll-derived component as an index. Created based on relationships. The standard is also called a predetermined standard.

クロロフィルと、ポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドの少なくとも一方とを含む植物に由来する材料(以下単に「対象材料」ともいう)とは、当該植物に切断、成形、加熱、乾燥等の加工を施した材料または未加工の植物である。テルペノイドとはイソプレン単位が複数個結合してできた天然有機化合物群であり、その例としてはカロテノイドが挙げられる。植物に含まれるクロロフィル、およびポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドは、加工や経時変化によって代謝されうる。したがって対象材料はクロロフィルまたはクロロフィル代謝物、ポリフェノールまたはポリフェノール代謝物、ならびにテルペノイドまたはテルペノイド代謝物を含む。対象材料としては、たばこ原料や茶原料が挙げられる。たばこ原料とは、たばこの葉や茎等を加工して得られた原料である。たばこ原料は、除骨葉、中骨、再生たばこ(すなわち、工場の作業工程で生じる葉屑、刻み屑、中骨屑、細粉などを再使用可能なシート等の形状に加工したたばこ材料)、またはこれらの混合物のいずれからなるものであってもよい。茶原料とは茶葉や茶茎等を加工して得られた原料である。材料区分とは、その材料の属性による区分である。たばこ原料の区分としては、乾燥方法による区分、すなわち空気乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、バーレー種、および在来種)、強制火力乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、黄色種)、および天日乾燥たばこ原料(例えば、オリエント種)のいずれかに属するかの区分が挙げられる。したがって、一態様として、たばこ原料がバーレー種、黄色種、およびオリエント種のいずれの区分に属するかを判別するための基準が挙げられる。また、茶原料に関しては、一態様として、煎茶、深蒸し茶、ほうじ茶、ウーロン茶、紅茶等のいずれの区分に属するかを判別するための基準が提供される。 A plant-derived material containing chlorophyll and at least one of a polyphenol or a terpenoid (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "target material") is a material obtained by cutting, molding, heating, drying, or the like, or unprocessed. Plant. A terpenoid is a group of natural organic compounds formed by binding a plurality of isoprene units, and an example thereof is a carotenoid. Chlorophyll and polyphenols or terpenoids contained in plants can be metabolized by processing and aging. Thus, the material of interest includes chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolites, polyphenols or polyphenol metabolites, and terpenoids or terpenoid metabolites. Examples of the target material include tobacco raw materials and tea raw materials. Tobacco raw materials are raw materials obtained by processing tobacco leaves, stems, and the like. Tobacco raw materials are deboned leaves, middle bones, and regenerated tobacco (that is, tobacco materials obtained by processing leaf waste, chopped waste, medium bone waste, fine powder, etc. generated in the work process of a factory into a reusable sheet or the like). , Or a mixture of these. The tea raw material is a raw material obtained by processing tea leaves, tea stems, and the like. The material classification is a classification according to the attribute of the material. Tobacco raw materials are classified according to the drying method, that is, air-dried tobacco raw materials (for example, Burley and native species), forced-fired dried tobacco raw materials (for example, yellow seeds), and sun-dried tobacco raw materials (for example, for example). Orient species) can be classified as belonging to any of them. Therefore, as one aspect, there is a standard for determining whether the tobacco raw material belongs to the Burley type, the yellow type, or the Orient type. Further, with respect to the tea raw material, as one aspect, a standard for determining which category of sencha, fukamushi tea, roasted tea, oolong tea, black tea and the like belongs is provided.

[蛍光指紋情報取得工程]
本工程では、区分が既知である対象材料の蛍光指紋情報を取得する。蛍光指紋情報とは、励起光を照射して蛍光波長と蛍光強度を測定し、励起波長、蛍光波長、および蛍光強度のデータから構成される3次元蛍光パターンである。当該測定は、(1)250〜370nmの励起光を照射してポリフェノールまたはテルペノイド由来成分に起因する300〜480nmの蛍光を測定すること、または(2)350〜480nmの励起光を照射してクロロフィル由来成分に起因する670〜700nmの蛍光を測定すること、あるいは(1)および(2)の双方を含むことが好ましい。各波長は対象物の特性によって適宜調整される。例えば、たばこ原料に対しては(1)における励起光波長は、好ましくは320〜370nm、より好ましくは360nmであり、蛍光波長は好ましくは380〜480nm、より好ましくは460nmとすることができ、(2)における励起光波長は400nm、蛍光波長は680nmとすることができる。クロロフィル由来成分に起因する蛍光とは、クロロフィルおよびクロロフィル代謝物に起因する蛍光である。ポリフェノール由来成分およびテルペノイド由来成分に起因する蛍光についても同様である。
[Fluorescent fingerprint information acquisition process]
In this step, the fluorescent fingerprint information of the target material whose classification is known is acquired. The fluorescence fingerprint information is a three-dimensional fluorescence pattern composed of excitation wavelength, fluorescence wavelength, and fluorescence intensity data obtained by irradiating excitation light and measuring the fluorescence wavelength and fluorescence intensity. The measurement is carried out by (1) irradiating with excitation light of 250 to 370 nm to measure fluorescence of 300 to 480 nm due to a component derived from polyphenol or terpenoid, or (2) irradiating with excitation light of 350 to 480 nm to measure chlorophyll. It is preferable to measure the fluorescence at 670 to 700 nm due to the derived component, or to include both (1) and (2). Each wavelength is appropriately adjusted according to the characteristics of the object. For example, for the tobacco raw material, the excitation light wavelength in (1) is preferably 320 to 370 nm, more preferably 360 nm, and the fluorescence wavelength is preferably 380 to 480 nm, more preferably 460 nm. The excitation light wavelength in 2) can be 400 nm, and the fluorescence wavelength can be 680 nm. The fluorescence caused by the chlorophyll-derived component is the fluorescence caused by chlorophyll and chlorophyll metabolites. The same applies to the fluorescence caused by the polyphenol-derived component and the terpenoid-derived component.

測定に供する対象材料の性状は限定されないが、対象材料を粉砕して均一な粉末にして測定に供することが好ましい。材料に含まれる各成分が均一に分散するので精度の高い測定が可能になるからである。粉砕には公知の機器を使用できる。最大粒径は1mm以下であることが好ましい。最大粒径は指定サイズのメッシュを通過させることによって決定される。例えば、たばこ原料としてはラミナ、刻み、粉末が挙げられるが、これを前記粒径となるように粉砕後、十分に混合して測定に供することが好ましい。測定に供する対象材料は事前に水分量を一定化するために状態調整されることが好ましい。例えばたばこ原料の場合、調和条件(22℃、60%)で24時間以上蔵置することが好ましい。蔵置する時間の上限は限定されないが、30時間以内であることが好ましい。 The properties of the target material to be measured are not limited, but it is preferable to pulverize the target material into a uniform powder and use it for measurement. This is because each component contained in the material is uniformly dispersed, so that highly accurate measurement becomes possible. A known device can be used for pulverization. The maximum particle size is preferably 1 mm or less. The maximum particle size is determined by passing through a mesh of a specified size. For example, examples of the tobacco raw material include lamina, chopped powder, and powder, and it is preferable that these are pulverized to have the above particle size and then sufficiently mixed and used for measurement. It is preferable that the target material to be measured is state-adjusted in advance in order to stabilize the water content. For example, in the case of a tobacco raw material, it is preferable to store it for 24 hours or more under harmonized conditions (22 ° C., 60%). The upper limit of the storage time is not limited, but it is preferably 30 hours or less.

[基準作成工程]
本工程では、前記材料中のポリフェノールまたはテルペノイドの少なくとも一方に由来する成分の存在量およびクロロフィル由来成分の存在量を反映する蛍光指紋情報を指標として解析を行う。解析は、主成分分析、判別分析、決定木分析、階層的データ分析、非階層クラスタリング分析等の多変量解析を用いることができるが、中でも主成分分析またはPLS判別分析が好ましい。主成分分析とは、主成分の分散が最大になるように主成分を抽出する手法であり、説明変数のみを用いて主成分分析を行い、得られた主成分と目的変数との間で最小二乗法による重回帰分析を行う手法である。例えば、蛍光指紋情報に対して主成分分析を行い、第1主成分(PC1)をポリフェノール由来成分、テルペノイド由来成分またはその双方にかかる情報、第3主成分(PC3)をクロロフィル由来成分にかかる情報として採用する。第1主成分と第3成分のスコアから2次元プロットを作成すれば、材料区分、ポリフェノール由来成分またはテルペノイド由来成分の一方またはその双方、およびクロロフィル由来成分の関係を示す2次元図を作成できる。この2次元図において各材料区分を判別するためのグルーピングを行うことで各材料区分の基準を作成できる。グルーピングには統計的な手法を用いることもできるが、未知の原料サンプルと既知原料サンプルのプロット群との近似性等を考慮して実施することが好ましい。異なる区分に属する複数の対象材料を測定すれば、より精度の高い基準を作成できる。特に、たばこ原料においては、黄色種、バーレー種、およびオリエント種では、ポリフェノール由来成分、テルペノイド由来成分およびクロロフィル由来成分の存在量がそれぞれ異なるので、精度の高い基準を作成できる。図2は、たばこ原料が、黄色種、バーレー種、およびオリエント種のいずれの区分に属するかを判別するための主成分分析を用いた基準の一例を示す。当該工程に用いるアルゴリズムはより汎用的かつ非線形現象にも対応する機械学習アルゴリズム、例えばsupport vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), neural networkなどでもよい。
[Standard creation process]
In this step, analysis is performed using fluorescent fingerprint information reflecting the abundance of a component derived from at least one of the polyphenol or the terpenoid and the abundance of the chlorophyll-derived component in the material as an index. For the analysis, multivariate analysis such as principal component analysis, discriminant analysis, determined tree analysis, hierarchical data analysis, and non-hierarchical clustering analysis can be used, and among them, principal component analysis or PLS discriminant analysis is preferable. Principal component analysis is a method of extracting principal components so that the variance of the principal components is maximized. Principal component analysis is performed using only the explanatory variables, and the minimum between the obtained principal components and the objective variable. This is a method for performing multiple regression analysis by the square method. For example, principal component analysis is performed on fluorescent fingerprint information, and the first principal component (PC1) is information related to polyphenol-derived components, terpenoid-derived components or both, and the third principal component (PC3) is information related to chlorophyll-derived components. Adopt as. By creating a two-dimensional plot from the scores of the first principal component and the third component, it is possible to create a two-dimensional diagram showing the relationship between the material classification, one or both of the polyphenol-derived component and the terpenoid-derived component, and the chlorophyll-derived component. A standard for each material classification can be created by performing grouping for discriminating each material classification in this two-dimensional diagram. Although a statistical method can be used for grouping, it is preferable to carry out the grouping in consideration of the closeness between the unknown raw material sample and the plot group of the known raw material sample. By measuring multiple target materials belonging to different categories, a more accurate standard can be created. In particular, in the tobacco raw material, the abundance of the polyphenol-derived component, the terpenoid-derived component and the chlorophyll-derived component is different between the yellow type, the Burley type and the Orient type, so that a highly accurate standard can be created. FIG. 2 shows an example of a standard using principal component analysis for determining whether a tobacco raw material belongs to a yellow type, a Burley type, or an Orient type.

PLS回帰分析は主成分と目的変数との共分散が最大になるように主成分を抽出する方法である。PLS判別分析とは前記変数を0と1の変数として行う分析をいう。蛍光指紋情報に対してPLS判別分析を行う場合は、例えば、黄色、オリエント、バーレーのクラスターをそれぞれ、目的変数(1,0,0)、(0,1,0)、(0,0,1)として解析を行い、それぞれの基準を作成する。 PLS regression analysis is a method of extracting principal components so that the covariance between the principal components and the objective variable is maximized. The PLS discriminant analysis refers to an analysis performed with the variable as a variable of 0 and 1. When performing PLS discriminant analysis on fluorescent fingerprint information, for example, yellow, Orient, and Burley clusters are selected as objective variables (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1), respectively. ), And create each standard.
