 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。 (4) The present invention relates to a method, a program, and an apparatus for creating a standard for determining a category of a plant-derived material containing chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenol and terpenoid.
 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 (for example, Burley and native varieties), forced-fired tobacco raw materials (for example, yellow varieties), and sun-dried tobacco raw materials (for example, Orient varieties). Although it exists, it is impossible to determine the classification visually. As a method of determining the tobacco raw material category, for example, there has been proposed a method of determining the tobacco raw material category based on the reflectance when the tobacco raw material is irradiated with visible light (Patent Document 1). On the other hand, it is known to distinguish or quantify food materials 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。 材料 A material derived from a plant containing chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenols and terpenoids, such as a tobacco raw material and a tea raw material, changes in color depending on a processing step such as drying or a storage state, and thus it is difficult to visually determine the classification. Although the method of determining the classification of the material using visible light as described in Patent Document 1 is simple, if the reflection data is very similar, a problem may occur in the determination ability. Since the reflectance data obtained for the yellow type and the orient type of the tobacco raw material are very similar (Patent Document 1, FIG. 2), it is difficult to discriminate between the two. In view of such circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a criterion and a discrimination method, a program, and an apparatus for accurately discriminating a classification of a material derived from a plant containing chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenol and terpenoid. .

The standard is also referred to as 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。 Materials derived from plants containing chlorophyll and at least one of polyphenols and terpenoids (hereinafter also simply referred to as "target materials") are materials obtained by subjecting the plants to processing such as cutting, molding, heating, drying, or unprocessed materials. Plant. Terpenoids are a group of natural organic compounds formed by combining a plurality of isoprene units, and examples thereof include carotenoids. Chlorophyll and polyphenols or terpenoids contained in plants can be metabolized by processing and aging. Thus, the target materials include chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolites, polyphenols or polyphenol metabolites, and terpenoids or terpenoid metabolites. Target materials include tobacco raw materials and tea raw materials. The tobacco raw material is a raw material obtained by processing tobacco leaves and stems. Tobacco raw materials are deboned leaves, medium bones, and regenerated tobacco (ie, tobacco materials obtained by processing leaf scraps, chopping scraps, bone scraps, fine powder, etc., generated in the work processes of factories into reusable sheets and the like). Or a mixture of these. Tea raw materials are raw materials obtained by processing tea leaves, tea stems and the like. The material category is a category based on the attribute of the material. The classification of the tobacco raw materials includes the classification by the drying method, that is, the air-dried tobacco raw materials (for example, Burley and native varieties), the forced-fired tobacco raw materials (for example, yellow varieties), and the sun-dried tobacco raw materials (for example, Orient species). Therefore, in one embodiment, a criterion for determining whether a tobacco raw material belongs to a Burley type, a yellow type, or an Orient type is included. In addition, with respect to the tea raw material, in one embodiment, a criterion for discriminating which of the green tea, the deep-steamed tea, the roasted tea, the oolong tea, the black tea and the like belongs to 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 fluorescent fingerprint information is a three-dimensional fluorescent pattern composed of data of the excitation wavelength, the fluorescence wavelength, and the fluorescence intensity by measuring the fluorescence wavelength and the fluorescence intensity by irradiating the excitation light. The measurement is performed by (1) irradiating excitation light of 250 to 370 nm to measure fluorescence of 300 to 480 nm caused by a component derived from polyphenol or terpenoid, or (2) irradiating excitation light of 350 to 480 nm to chlorophyll. It is preferable to measure the fluorescence at 670 to 700 nm due to the origin component, or to include both (1) and (2). Each wavelength is appropriately adjusted according to the characteristics of the object. For example, for a tobacco raw material, the excitation light wavelength in (1) is preferably from 320 to 370 nm, more preferably 360 nm, and the fluorescence wavelength is preferably from 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. Fluorescence caused by chlorophyll-derived components is 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。 性 The properties of the target material to be subjected to the measurement are not limited, but it is preferable that the target material is pulverized into a uniform powder for the measurement. This is because each component contained in the material is uniformly dispersed, so that highly accurate measurement is possible. A known device can be used for the pulverization. The maximum particle size is preferably 1 mm or less. The maximum particle size is determined by passing through a specified size mesh. For example, as the tobacco raw material, lamina, chopped powder, and the like may be mentioned, and it is preferable that the raw material is pulverized so as to have the above-mentioned particle size, sufficiently mixed, and then subjected to measurement. It is preferable that the condition of the target material to be subjected to the measurement be adjusted in advance in order to keep the water content constant. For example, in the case of tobacco raw materials, it is preferable to store the tobacco raw materials under harmony conditions (22 ° C., 60%) for 24 hours or more. The upper limit of the storage time is not limited, but is preferably within 30 hours.
[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, as an index, fluorescent fingerprint information that reflects the abundance of components derived from at least one of polyphenols and terpenoids in the material and the abundance of components derived from chlorophyll. As the analysis, a multivariate analysis such as a principal component analysis, a discriminant analysis, a decision tree analysis, a hierarchical data analysis, a non-hierarchical clustering analysis, or the like can be used. Among them, a principal component analysis or a 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 explanatory variables, and a minimum is obtained between the obtained principal components and the objective variable. This is a method for performing multiple regression analysis by the square method. For example, the principal component analysis is performed on the fluorescent fingerprint information, and the first principal component (PC1) is information relating to the polyphenol-derived component, the terpenoid-derived component or both, and the third principal component (PC3) is the information relating to the chlorophyll-derived component. To be adopted. If a two-dimensional plot is created from the scores of the first main component and the third component, a two-dimensional diagram showing the relationship between the material category, one or both of the polyphenol-derived component and the terpenoid-derived component, and the chlorophyll-derived component can be created. By performing grouping for discriminating each material section in this two-dimensional diagram, a reference for each material section can be created. Although a statistical method can be used for grouping, it is preferable to perform the grouping in consideration of the similarity between a plot group of an unknown raw material sample and a known raw material sample. If a plurality of target materials belonging to different categories are measured, a more accurate reference can be created. In particular, in the tobacco raw material, the yellow, burley, and orient species have different amounts of the polyphenol-derived component, the terpenoid-derived component, and the chlorophyll-derived component. FIG. 2 shows an example of a criterion using principal component analysis for determining whether a tobacco raw material belongs to a yellow type, a burley type, or an oriental type. The algorithm used in the process may be a more general-purpose machine learning algorithm that also supports nonlinear phenomena, such as a support vector machine (SVM), a random forest (RF), and a neural network.
 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 a principal component such that the covariance between the principal component and the objective variable is maximized. The PLS discriminant analysis refers to an analysis in which the variables are set as variables of 0 and 1. When performing PLS discriminant analysis on fluorescent fingerprint information, for example, clusters of yellow, orient, and burley are respectively set as objective variables (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1). ) And make the respective criteria.

The score of PC3) is obtained. Then, in step 3, the score is plotted on the reference and collated, whereby the material category of the target material whose category is unknown can be specified.
